Octacetal BHT by IFF is a powerful top to middle note; modern synthetic aroma chemical celebrated for its fresh, green, and watery elegance.

Octacetal delivers a crisp, dewy freshness that instantly brightens a composition.

Its odour profile opens with a vivid cucumber–melon nuance, softened by leafy greenness and a subtle fatty-waxy undertone. A clean, violet-leaf impression runs through the heart, giving perfumes a cool, natural freshness.

Belonging to the Green / Fresh / Watery olfactive family, Octacetal works primarily as a top-to-mid note, offering immediate lift that lingers beautifully into the heart of a fragrance.

In perfumery, Octacetal is prized for:

• Adding watery-green realism to floral, fruity, and ozonic accords

• Enhancing cucumber, melon, violet leaf, tea, and marine notes

• Softening harsh aldehydes, rounding out sharp green tones

It blends really well with cis-3-Hexenol, Calone, and Cyclamen Aldehyde, with which it creates vibrant natural effects.

Typically used in trace amounts up to 1% in fine fragrances; with higher levels in functional products like shampoos, detergents and air fresheners for a crisp, clean impression.

Octacetal boosts the impression of just-cut green leaves, extends freshness into the mid notes, and adds a distinctive watery quality that makes compositions feel more natural and dynamic.
