Its smooth scent helps build long-lasting top and middle notes in many modern perfumes.
Adds waxy, fatty, and citrus-like notes to perfumes and colognes.
Key ingredient in fine fragrances, soaps, and body care products. It blends well with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, Cyclohexyl Salicylate, and Geranyl Caproate for complex floral profiles.
Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty aldehydes and esters.
Supports pilot-scale and laboratory-scale chemical formulations.
Acts as a raw material for producing aroma derivatives and perfumery ingredients.
High-quality aroma chemicals are available from ISO-certified suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors worldwide, ensuring authenticity, prompt delivery, and complete documentation.
