Description

Cinnamic Aldehyde is a classic fragrance material known for its warm, spicy, sweet and distinctive cinnamon-like odor. It provides a strong, radiant character that can quickly give a fragrance composition warmth and spicy richness. Its profile is especially useful in oriental, gourmand, spicy, amber and warm floral accords.

Perfumers use Cinnamic Aldehyde to create cinnamon effects and add depth, warmth and diffusion to fragrance compositions. It can also help strengthen spicy accords and bring character to floral, balsamic and sweet formulations. Because of its powerful odor profile, it is generally handled at relatively low levels and balanced carefully with softer materials.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Cinnamic Aldehyde sparingly when creating spicy or cinnamon accords, as its character can become dominant quickly. Combine it with Cinnamic Alcohol, Vanillin or Coumarin for a smoother, warmer and more rounded effect.
