Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
This aldehyde delivers pure, uncompromising fatty-green character. At full
strength it's intensely waxy and substantial; upon dilution it transforms to
brilliant cucumber freshness with melon brightness. Think of it as the purest
expression of green-aldehydic power in perfumery.
Add traces to ionones and methyl ionones and watch their impact multiply—this
material amplifies power and diffusion like nothing else. In cucumber and melon
accords it provides photorealistic texture that grounds sweetness in naturalism.
Use it in violet-leaf reconstructions for authentic fresh-green snap, or blend
with florals to add crisp, naturalistic edges that keep compositions from
becoming too rounded.
Handle this material with respect—it's exceptionally potent and performs best at
trace levels. In green apple compositions it adds brilliant aldehydic lift; in
orris and rose work it contributes fresh facets that prevent powdery sweetness
from dominating. Store it carefully away from light and verify freshness
regularly, as its intensity depends on quality.
