Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Hexyl cinnamal has the warm spicy - floral scent of flowers like jasmine and
gardenia. In addition, it has green spicy aspects. The fragrance is not very
strong and can therefore be used undiluted. Typical use is in floral scents such
as jasmine, magnolia and the like. You usually use between 2% and 30% of this
substance in the fragrance composition. A very versatile material: in addition
to the floral scents mentioned, it also goes well with many fruit scents
(especially berries and tropical fruits), in ambers, chypres and fougères. It is
easy to underestimate this material, the value of this fragrance is only found
after combining it with other fragrances. It is primarily a base note in
perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Hexyl cinnamal is a pale yellow to yellow liquid at room temperature. A better
name might be alpha Hexyl cinnamal, but since other variants are not used as
fragrance, we leave that alpha out. The purity is at least 96%. The substance
has a short shelf life, because it is prone to oxidation by oxygen from the air.
For that reason we add 0,1% tocopherol. Nevertheless we recommend to replace
this material at least once a year. The substance occurs in nature, but the
synthetic version is used for use in fragrance.
