Description

Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, also known as Hexyl Cinnamal, is a classic fragrance ingredient with a sweet, floral and slightly green character. It has a distinctive jasmine-like floral quality with soft balsamic and fatty nuances, making it a valuable material for creating rich and rounded floral compositions.

In perfumery, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde is widely used in jasmine, floral, white-floral, oriental and woody-floral accords. It can add fullness and warmth to a fragrance while helping extend the floral character into the drydown. Its substantive nature also makes it useful in soaps, body-care products and other fragranced formulations.
