Profile

Nerol is curated in this catalog as a dewy rose material, with a secondary reading of fresh floral.

On the strip it reads Zesty, fresh floral, bright zesty citrus.

It is registered under CAS 106-25-2.

The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.65 · the opening

A boiling point of 225 °C and a molecular weight of 154.25 g/mol give Nerol a volatility index of 0.65, which places it in the opening of a composition.

It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

How much Nerol should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max In Concentrate% for Nerol. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.

What can I use instead of Nerol?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Linalool (79.3% match), Dihydro Myrcenol (78% match) and CITRONELLOL COEUR (IFF) (77.6% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Nerol. Ranking ignores price.
