Citrylal is an aromatic chemical with fresh, lively citrus notes with floral undertones. It adds natural lime-green hues to perfumes, detergents and personal care formulations.

Also known as Lily Aldehyde or 3,7-Dimethyl-6-octenal, Citrylal (C₁₀H₁₆O) is a clear to pale yellow liquid used as a key fragrance raw material in both fine perfumery and home-care applications. Its high stability and long-lasting freshness make it a preferred top-note enhancer in modern fragrance design.
