Aldehyde C9 (Nonanal)

Aldehyde C9, also known as Nonanal, is an extremely versatile aldehyde that is commonly used in modern perfumery.

It is a highly valued saturated aliphatic aldehyde that brings a unique dimension to fragrance creation.

Less citrusy and more refined, it reveals a delicate blend of waxy cucumber and soft rose facets; delivering a fresh, clean character when used in the right dilution.

Widely used in fine fragrance formulations, this aldehyde adds brilliance and elegance, especially in trace amounts.

It provides very natural ‘flower-wax’ or ‘petal’ notes and gives tremendous ‘lift’ to a perfume, making it ideal for floral compositions like Rose, Lily, Peony, Orris, Jasmine, and Tuberose.

It frequently features in aldehydic bases that enhance top notes with a radiant, airy quality.

Its pleasant, fatty, rose-type odour makes it a prized component in light floral creations. Due to its volatility, only small amounts are needed to achieve a powerful impact.

Whether you’re building a bright floral bouquet or adding nuance to a fresh accord, this aldehyde offers perfumers a tool of subtle sophistication and dynamic lift.
