Description
Rhodinol 70® is a valued perfumery ingredient used primarily in compositions featuring rose, geranium, blackberry, and honey notes. It is a key element in fougere fragrances and all rose-based formulations. Its chemical composition includes 62 percent Citronellol, 35 percent Geraniol, and approximately 1 percent Nerol, three molecules with similar volatility and structure.
Unlike many synthetic ingredients, Rhodinol 70® is extracted from geranium essential oil via fractional distillation. This process separates the three core components that share similar volatility. Geraniol and Nerol are diastereomers, while Citronellol has a molecular mass and structure very close to these two compounds.
This ingredient was discovered in 1891 and holds a long history in perfumery. It is important not to confuse it with plain Rhodinol (without the '70'), which is another name for laevorotatory Citronellol.
Additional information
The name "Rhodinol" derives from the Greek word "rodon" (rose), reflecting the ingredient's close relationship to the rose scent. The addition of "70" indicates the mixture's active ingredient content.
The fractional distillation used to produce Rhodinol 70® is a precision craft in perfumery. Imagine a cook who can separate the components of a complex dish based solely on their evaporation temperature.
Since its discovery in 1891, Rhodinol 70® has been a foundational ingredient in classic fragrances. Although technology has evolved dramatically, this ingredient continues to be preferred by perfumers for the complexity and authenticity it brings to their formulations.
