About this material

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.

This molecular reference matches the catalogue’s recorded CAS and formula. It does not confirm the supplied grade, purity, stereochemistry, isomer proportions, composition, impurities or unlisted constituents.

Fragrance allergen reference

Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.

Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.

European Union / Northern Ireland

No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.

Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Documentation Supply Policy

IFRA formulation guide

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Supplier certificates and private documents are separate evidence. Their availability does not determine whether this generic guide is shown. This is a dated local reference, not a live regulatory feed.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Polished petals

With rose and soft floral notes

Explore an aldehydic floral silhouette around a simple rose accord. Compare the opening and later impression with an unchanged floral reference; decide whether the effect feels airy, waxy or abstract before adding further complexity.

Citrus in white

With bergamot and a musk direction

Build a study around citrus brightness and a restrained musk backdrop. Let the aldehydic material be the changing variable, then note whether it supports the peel impression or takes the sketch towards a more abstract clean accord.

A softer frame

With sandalwood and powdery notes

Set the listed aldehydic character against a soft wood or powder direction. Compare the balance through the evaluation rather than judging only the first impression, and keep any successful version simple enough to understand what changed.
