Rose oxide (isomer grade unspecified)
Available with historical source reference
generic material identity
Historical technical reference: check current commercial product grade, present specification, and regulatory status separately.
Short profile
penetrating, highly diffusive green-floral/rose-geranium character; isomer and grade strongly affect the odor
Effect in a formula
High-impact green floral rose/geranium character. Symrise Rose Oxide L is important for rose creation and adds a natural geranium aspect; however, the database record is isomer-grade unspecified. Symrise recommends traces up to 2% for Rose Oxide L. Do not automatically apply this to an unspecified-isomer stock.
From the source: Historically noted for its hard green, floral character and its rose/geranium effect on dilution. Modern Symrise Rose Oxide L data supports rose/green use but is isomer-specific.
