Description :
Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an aromatic scent similar to jasmine flowers and fragrance. The molecular formula for Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (CH22O) renders it insoluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents like alcohol and ammonia, making this compound popularly used by fragrance, cosmetic, and personal care industries for its long-lasting, elegant floral notes, particularly in high-end perfume production as a raw material.
Adds sweet floral and jasmine-like notes to perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.Key ingredient in soaps, lotions, deodorants, and body sprays.
Often blended with Anisyl Acetate, Aldehyde C-18, Cyclohexyl Salicylate, and 2-Nonanone to enrich aromatic depth and persistence.
Serves as a fragrance intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals.Used in household and detergent formulations to provide fresh, floral scent retention.
Plays a vital role in the cosmetic and toiletry industry due to its strong stability under various pH conditions.
