Comment (FraterWork)
What marvellous wonders of perfumery are created by the judicious use of
Aldehyde C-12 MNA. It singlehandedly adds character to Raphael's 1944 Replique
(one of the forgotten masterpieces of classical perfumery), it adds a je ne sais
quoi to Monsieur Roucel's novel Eau de Cologne (2000) for Helmut Lang and it was
perfumery's metaphorical shot heard around the world when Ernest Beaux overdosed
it with three other aldehydes (C-10, C-11 Undecylenic, and C-12 Lauric) in No 5
for Coco Chanel's first foray into scent. And, if I may be so bold as to name
myself amongst these luminaries of our art, at an overdose of 0.3% I use it to
add an amber sweetness to the French lavender top note of my perfume Porthos
[https://frater.com/products/porthos] (2022).
Fun Fact: Madame Chanel offered No 5 as a free gift to her clients and customers
but soon her shop was filled with Parisienne ladies clamouring (elegantly of
course) to obtain just the scent. And so she popped on a price tag — $30 to be
exact (equal to a jaw dropping $650 today) and the rest is history as the cliché
goes.
This aliphatic aldehyde (one of only two not found in nature) transforms a scent
in ways no other material can. The merest whisper in a blend creates olfactory
pleasures beyond words. One drop and you have instant perfume. Alchemists
dreamed of the transmutation of lead into gold. Aldehyde C-12 MNA performs just
that powerful magic on aroma chemicals.
As with all true aldehydes, we recommend dilution in an alcohol upon receipt of
this product. Ethyl alcohol [https://fraterworks.com/products/perfumers-alcohol]
is the most commonly used for this purpose, but others such as phenyl ethyl
alcohol or benzyl alcohol are also suitable.
One final word of warning: when using aldehydes in a fragrance blend it can
become very difficult to evaluate the finished product because aldehydes really
need the time macerating in alcohol to develop their true character. For that
reason, we always recommend evaluating a blend after resting it for a week or so
diluted in alcohol rather than directly as raw juice.
