Overview of Phenylacetaldehyde 85%

Phenylacetaldehyde 85% is a concentrated aromatic aldehyde that looks like a clear oily liquid that is colorless to pale yellow. It has a pure, strong green-floral scent that is similar to hyacinth, lilac, and syringa. The formula for its molecules is C₈H₈O. Many flowers and fruits, like citrus, roses, narcissus, and hyacinthus, naturally contain phenylacetaldehyde. It is an essential part of making modern floral accords in fragrance and flavor compositions. 

Applications of Phenylacetaldehyde 85%

Fine Fragrance & Perfume Compounding

Phenylacetaldehyde 85% imparts a green, watery, and dewy floral quality to perfumes, especially in hyacinth, lilac, carnation, and rose blends. It adds radiance and realism to floral top notes, supporting both feminine and fresh unisex fragrances.​

Flavoring & Food Applications

This aroma chemical is used in small amounts to add flavor to baked goods, dairy products, drinks, and fruit-based flavors because it has a warm, honeyed, floral, and fruity smell. ​ ​

Cosmetics & Personal Care

The fresh green floral scent of phenylacetaldehyde 85% makes it suitable for creams, lotions, soaps, and shampoos, emulating natural flower bouquet effects in personal care products.​

Home & Fabric Care Products

Applied in detergents, fabric conditioners, air fresheners, and household cleaners for its strong diffusiveness and fresh bloom-in-soap quality.​

Safety & Handling Guidelines

  • Wear gloves and safety goggles during handling, as phenylacetaldehyde can cause mild irritation to the skin and eyes.​
  • Use in well-ventilated areas and avoid inhaling concentrated vapors, especially at elevated temperatures, as it readily oxidizes and can become pungent.​
  • Store the product tightly sealed in amber glass or HDPE containers, away from light, heat, acids, and oxidizing agents. Best storage temperature: below 25 °C.​
  • If spilled, absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance with environmental regulations. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking near areas of use.
  • Phenylacetaldehyde can polymerize or oxidize, so it should be stabilized or diluted for long-term storage.​
  • Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for complete safety, toxicological, and environmental guidelines before bulk use.
