Odor description: floral-woody, delicate, transparent, fruity and green nuances

Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene alcohol with a subtle yet complex olfactory profile, combining delicate floral and woody tones. Its scent is unobtrusive, reminiscent of rose petals, apple, and lily of the valley.

It is one of those materials whose quiet presence makes a difference. Used as a structural element in the base, it works discreetly, binding the composition together and adding body.

Nerolidol is especially valued in delicate floral accords, where heavier fixatives might overwhelm the fragrance’s lightness. In woody and vanilla accords, it introduces “air” and balances heavier notes. It is the perfect “invisible” backbone that holds everything together and subtly extends the longevity of the fragrance.
