Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Veratraldehyde is a crystalline aroma chemical with a soft powdery vanilla
custard quality. It is a really good alternative to vanillin (though it suffers
from the same discolouration problems in soaps) or can be used to add nuance and
interest to the same.
In the age of the gourmand, this material absolutely cannot go unnoticed and we
highly recommend it for all perfumers. If you are unfamiliar with the use of
crystallines in perfume, take a look at our little primer: How To Weigh A Powder

Usage
Average use (FraterWork)
0.11% in a perfume compound
Uses (FraterWork)
Creates sophisticated vanilla and heliotrope effects while enhancing
oriental compositions with refined balsamic qualities.
Use (Hekserij)
Veratraldehyde has a powdery balsamic odour reminiscent of vanilla and benzoin.
The odour is not particularly strong, but, for it is a solid: making a solution
in DPG, TEC or IPM can be useful. Making a stable 10% solution is possible with
all these solvents, in TEC and DPG 25% is possible as well. Typical use is in
oriental accords, but also in sweet florals. You usually use between 0,1% and
10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with other
balsamic fragrances, but also with, for example, many wood fragrances. It is
less painfully sweet than vanillin and ethyl vanillin and can be used more
subtly. In perfumes, it is mainly a base note and is stable in most products,
including soap, although it can cause product discolouration.
