(e)-methyl geranate smells like a fruity, floral, and slightly spicy aroma.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1989): Waxy green fruity flower
Moellhausen: Floral, rose-fatty; some aspect of otto rose
Firmenich: Floral, herbal, citrus fruity and green note closely related to part
Methyl geraniate is a key link between the lavender aspect and the geranium character for a fougere note. it gives excellent effects in many florals to develop richness and naturalness and should be tried in colognes especially with neroli and green notes in combination with galbanum. usage levels: 0.5-10%.
Bedoukian Research: Waxy, green, fruity
Useful in imparting a natural note in re-constituted oils.
