Description

Melafleur is an IFF fragrance ingredient with a distinctive fresh muguet (lily-of-the-valley) character, supported by green, melon-like and fresh-outdoors nuances. It is also known as muguet carboxaldehyde and is associated with a clean, airy floral profile that can bring freshness and natural spaciousness to a fragrance.

In fragrance construction, Melafleur is particularly useful for creating modern muguet and fresh floral accords. Its green-melony character gives lily-of-the-valley compositions additional realism, while its fresh-air quality can brighten a wide variety of fragrance styles. It can also be used as a supporting material in floral, aquatic, green and fresh compositions. IFF-related product information describes it as a substantive muguet material with a fresh-outdoors effect.

Perfumers' Tip

Melafleur is especially useful when you want a fresh, airy and modern muguet effect rather than a dense floral character. Combine it with Hedione and other floral materials for greater transparency, or pair it with green and melon notes to emphasize its fresh-outdoors character. Its substantive profile also makes it useful when you want the fresh floral impression to remain noticeable into the later stages of the fragrance.
