The enantiomeric composition of citronellol (trifluoroacetyl derivative) was determined on a commercially available fused‐silica chiral capillary column, Lipodex E. Laboratory‐made geranium Bourbon oils yielded higher enantiomeric excesses of (–)‐citronellol than commercial Bourbon oils, and than Egyptian‐type oils. In addition high enantiomeric excesses of (–)‐citronellol from rose oil and (+)‐citronellol from citronella oil were detected.
