Description
Additional information
Although citronellyl nitrile is produced in a laboratory, it is inspired by nature and mimics the fresh aromas found in citrus and aromatic plants.
Modern production of citronellyl nitrile represents an environmentally responsible approach to perfumery, as it reduces the need for the overexploitation of natural resources.
Unlike natural citrus oils that evaporate quickly, citronellyl nitrile offers stability in fragrances, allowing lemony notes to last longer within scent compositions.
