What does NEROL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A fragrant, oily alcohol found in rose and other essential oils, used in perfumery.
Nerol is a naturally occurring, oily alcohol with a sweet, rose-like smell that turns up in neroli oil and several essential oils drawn from flowers and citrus peel. Perfume makers prize nerol for the soft floral note it adds to a fragrance, often pairing it with its close chemical relative geraniol. Because it occurs naturally in citrus blossom and rose petals, nerol can be extracted directly from plants or produced synthetically for commercial use. Chemists classify it as a terpene alcohol because of the particular arrangement of its carbon atoms.
