Of all the citronellas, this variety, which originates from Indonesia, has the greatest molecular richness, since it contains, not surprisingly, citronnellal, but also monoterpenols, with geraniol and citronnellol at the top of the list, esters, monoterpenes... and a hint of eugenol. The fine balance between terpene aldehydes and monoterpenols is noteworthy.
