About this composition

This general neroli record is anchored to a directly read EVS GC-MS report for Neroli (Citrus aurantium) lot 209953. The verified profile is monoterpenol-rich, led by linalool with secondary linalyl acetate, limonene, alpha-terpineol, beta-pinene, and nerol. Public neroli IFRA data was used for the oil-level leave-on ceiling, and public aroma references consistently describe neroli as a strong middle-note floral-citrus oil.

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

Odor intensity 75 is a normalization of AromaWeb's categorical 'strong' aroma-strength descriptor into the archive's numeric scale rather than a directly published 0-100 laboratory measure.
