Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Also known as Viridine, PADMA is an acronym for Phenyl Acetaldehyde Dimethyl
Acetal. It is a very classic green chemical that has long been exploited in
fragrances to contribute a hyacinth note.
Despite its years it has managed to avoid the relentless march of legislative
banning and remains completely unrestricted for perfumery use. But be careful:
it is deceptively strong.

Usage
Average use (FraterWork)

Uses (FraterWork)
Primarily used as a stable alternative to Phenylacetaldehyde in floral
compositions, particularly for hyacinth and lilac reconstructions, adding
realistic foliage and stem notes.
IUPAC Name: 2,2-dimethoxyethylbenzene
Use (Hekserij)
PADMA has a green, fresh floral scent, as well as earthy and nutty aspects. It
is primarily used for green floral scents. A good example is hyacinth, but it
also goes well with rose, lily of the valley and lilac. For example, fougère and
leather perfumes can give some floral scent. The smell is not very strong. In
perfumes it is mainly a heart note. Furthermore, it is an excellent and much
more stable substitute for phenylacetaldehyde (phenylacetaldehyde), but the
smell is less strong. To replace it in a formulation, it is best to use about
4-6 times as much PADMA as phenylacetaldehyde. Because it is not strong and
overpowering, making a dilution is unusual.
