Citronellol - The Fresh Scent Enhancer

Citronellol is a naturally occurring compound found in the essential oils of plants like rose, geranium, and lemongrass. You’ll often recognise it by its light, floral-citrus scent: fresh, clean, and uplifting. While it’s one of the oldest and most widely used notes in perfumery, in haircare it does something simple but powerful: it makes your style smell as polished as it looks.

When you’re styling, Citronellol works like the final flourish. Its role is to leave behind a subtle, sophisticated scent that lingers without overpowering. That freshness helps elevate the whole experience of using premium haircare; every swipe, smooth-down, or brush-through feels cleaner, lighter, and more refined. Think of it as the invisible detail that takes your sleek look from everyday to photo-ready.
