🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde (CAS 101-86-0) is highly valued by master perfumers for its incredibly smooth, sweet, and green floral profile, closely mimicking the natural, waxy richness of fresh jasmine petals. Exhibiting remarkable tenacity, it functions primarily as a versatile base-to-heart note that anchors volatile top notes while imparting body and volume to complex floral accords. Its outstanding chemical stability—particularly under high pH conditions—makes it an essential building block across diverse industrial applications, including fine fragrances, luxury cosmetics, personal care products, household detergents, and industrial soap and candle manufacturing.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

• Building Classic Jasmine Accords: Incorporate Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde at levels up to 30% in your fragrance concentrates to establish a rich, waxy floral body. For an authentic, multi-dimensional jasmine backbone, blend it systematically with Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde and Benzyl Acetate.
• Enhancing Soap & Detergent Longevity: Due to its superior alkaline stability, utilize this floral aroma chemical at 1% to 5% in soap and detergent formulations to prevent scent degradation during saponification and extended shelf storage.
• Dilution for Precise Evaluation: For delicate fine fragrance work and high-end formulations, dilute the raw material to 10% in Dipropylene Glycol (DPG). This lowers the viscosity and allows perfumers to accurately evaluate its subtle green, herbal undertones without olfactory fatigue.
• Low-Sensitization Modifier: Leverage its lower skin sensitization profile compared to classic aliphatic aldehydes to safely modify and round out sharp, synthetic floral notes in leave-on cosmetic preparations.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary difference between Hexyl and Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde?
While both are classic jasmine-like aroma chemicals, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde offers a softer, rounder, and distinctly waxier floral profile with less herbal sharpness compared to Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, making it preferred for delicate, modern floral accords.

Is Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde safe for cosmetic applications, and what are its IFRA limits?
Yes, it is highly safe for cosmetics and personal care when used within regulatory limits. It is a recognized allergen, and formulators must adhere strictly to the maximum concentration limits set by the IFRA for specific product categories (e.g., Category 4 for fine fragrances or Category 9 for rinse-off products).

What is the shelf life and optimal storage condition for this aroma chemical?
Under optimal storage conditions—housed in tightly sealed, original containers in a cool, dark, well-ventilated warehouse away from heat sources—our Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde has a stable shelf life of 24 months. Nitrogen blanketing is recommended once opened to prevent oxidation.
