Overview

About Citronellol in France

Citronellol is a monoterpene alcohol found in citronella and geranium oils, offering a fresh, floral, rose-like character with a subtle citrus-mint lift. It is widely used alongside geraniol to soften and round floral accords, and contributes the clean rosy freshness expected in personal-care fragrance.

Zentish Exim supplies citronellol from qualified Indian producers, minimum 95% assay by GC, with complete batch documentation.

France hosts a deep fragrance and cosmetics industry around Grasse, with EU REACH, CLP and IFRA relevance for these ingredients. Le Havre and Marseille-Fos are the primary seaports; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 22-30 days.
