Descriptors
woody

A soft, rosy-floral aroma chemical reminiscent of geraniol but rounder and less sharp, with a green, slightly waxy geranium facet. It smells clean and natural, bridging rose and geranium tonalities with a fresh, dewy quality that persists longer than geraniol itself.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless to pale yellowish liquid

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with most oils.

Odor

The odor is fattier and less woody than that of Geraniol, but since the commercial product is far from pure, it is not possible to give more than an approximate odor description.
