Citronellol is a naturally occurring monoterpene in the essential oils of lemongrass, rose and geranium. It looks like a colorless liquid with a floral smell, it is mainly used in perfumes and to make insect-repellent products.

Given its intense sensitizing capacity, Citronellol is included in the list of 26 perfumed substances considered potentially allergenic, which by law must be listed on the label when their percentage exceeds 0.001% in products that remain on the skin and 0.01% in rinse-off products.
