Citronellol is a terpenoid. It is often extracted from plants as a component of plant oils – oil of citronella is a good example. But there are also a number of routes for synthesising it, often starting with the closely related geraniol or citronellal, which are themselves natural extracts. When isolated, the citronellol itself is a pale oily liquid. Citronellol has various uses, nearly all related to its flavour and smell. As well as being used to repel some bugs it can be used as an attractant for others, such as spider mites, which are common sap-feeding plant pests. It doesn’t actually cause the mites any harm, but citronellol sprays can be used to make them swarm, at which point they can be attacked with pesticides in an attempt to disrupt their life cycle. One of citronellol’s most common and longest-running uses is to add floral and citrus notes to perfumes, soaps and cosmetics. Its effect on the senses depends both on the concentration and the structural form of citronellol present in the mix.
