Citronellal or rhodinal or 3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-al (C₁₀H₁₈O) is a monoterpenoid, the main component in the mixture of terpenoid chemical compounds that give citronella oil its distinctive lemon scent.

Citronellal is a major isolate in distilled oils from the plants Cymbopogon, lemon-scented gum, and lemon-scented tea tree. The (-)-(S)-enantiomer of citronellal makes up to 80% of the leaf oil from kaffir lime leaves and is the compound responsible for its characteristic aroma.

Citronellal has insect repellent properties, and research shows high repellent effectiveness against mosquitoes. Research shows that citronellal has strong antifungal qualities.

Citronella oil is derived from the leaves and stems of the citronella grass and is widely known for its distinct citrusy scent. The oil’s strong aroma masks the scents that attract mosquitoes, making it an effective natural mosquito repellent. Citronella oil is also used in candles, lotions, and sprays for outdoor use. Apart from its insect-repellent properties, citronella oil is believed to have antifungal and antiseptic qualities.
