CAS numbers (comment): The scope of this Standard includes, but is not limited to the CAS number(s) indicated above; any other CAS number(s) used to identify these fragrance ingredients should be considered in scope as well.
Contributions from other sources: See Annex
Flavor use consideration: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
IFRA Standard type: RESTRICTION
Intrinsic property driving the risk management measure: DERMAL SENSITIZATION
Restricted ingredients: notes: The above limits apply to Dimethylcyclohexen-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde (mixed isomers) used individually or in combination. The sum of concentrations of Dimethylcyclohexen-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde isomers should not exceed the maximum concentration levels established by this Standard.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Leaf and blossom
With rose and garden floralsExplore a green floral sketch around a clear flower reference. Compare the leafy accent with the flower alone and decide whether the scene suggests a cut stem, a growing garden or a greener abstraction you want to develop.
Peel and leaf
With bergamot and herbal directionsUse citrus as a bright setting for the green material, then try an herbal alternative as a separate variation. Keeping those contrasts apart makes it easier to choose between a peel-focused idea and a leafy cologne.
A shaded wood
With transparent woods and soft muskSketch a green wood direction with a restrained backdrop. Follow the leafy character as the study develops, comparing a wood-only reference to decide whether the scene suggests fresh branches, shaded timber or a softer woodland impression.
