dc.description.abstract	Do you know the scent of life? Take a minute and smell the roses. You will enjoy the scent of life. Do you know why roses smell nice? It is because roses contain geraniol. Geraniol is an organic compound that has rose oil’s signature scent. Geraniol can be extracted in rose oil and can be obtained from many types of flower species as it is also present in many herbs' vegetative tissues and can be extracted in many other plants too. It was first extracted by O. Jacobsen from geranium grass (Andropogon schoenanthus L.) in 1871. Its structure is similar to that of nerol, another rose scent ingredient [1]. Geraniol is an acyclic monoterpene alcohol with the formula C10H18O and a molar mass of about 154.249 g/mol [2]. The IUPAC name for this compound is 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol, or more precisely (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol.	en_US
