Description

Bourgeonal is a powerful floral aroma chemical with a distinctive fresh, green, watery and muguet-like character. It is particularly recognized for its clean floral profile, combining lily-of-the-valley nuances with fresh green and slightly marine facets. Its strong odor impact makes it an important material for creating modern fresh-floral effects.

In perfumery, Bourgeonal is mainly used to build muguet, fresh floral, green and clean accords. It can give a composition a bright, airy floral quality while adding diffusion and persistence. Its watery character also makes it useful in fresh, aquatic and clean compositions, where it can help create a sense of freshness and transparency.

Bourgeonal is a strong character material and is best evaluated from a dilution. It can work particularly well as a bridge between fresh top notes and floral heart materials, while its lasting character helps maintain the clean floral impression into the later stages of a fragrance.

Perfumers' Tip

Bourgeonal is excellent for creating a clean, fresh lily-of-the-valley effect. Start from a dilution and add gradually because its character can become dominant quickly.

For a fuller muguet accord, combine it with Hedione, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool and floral alcohols. For a fresh aquatic direction, pair it with watery materials, citrus notes and clean musks.
