U parfemima
Heart modifier in rose, citrus-floral, and fresh compositions. Nerol provides a lighter, more transparent version of geraniol's rose character. It works in fresh-rose accords, citrus-floral blends, and compositions where floral softness without heaviness is desired. The cis-isomer's freshness makes it particularly useful in eau de cologne and eau fraiche formulations. Pairs with linalool, citral, and other terpene alcohols.
