Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde (Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde)

Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde — also known as Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde — is a widely used fragrance ingredient valued in perfumery for its fresh, floral, and slightly green character. Its scent profile is often described as soft and luminous, reminiscent of jasmine and fresh white floral notes, accompanied by subtle green and slightly fruity nuances.

The material typically appears as a clear to pale liquid with moderate viscosity, and is appreciated for its smooth diffusion and long-lasting floral presence in fragrance compositions. Its character is radiant and well-rounded, making it particularly useful for adding fullness and natural freshness to floral accords.

In practical perfumery, Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde is frequently used to enhance jasmine and white floral accords, while also contributing brightness and volume to floral bouquets. It blends particularly well with jasmine, lily-of-the-valley materials, rose, ylang-ylang, and green notes, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including floral perfumes, fresh floral compositions, and modern elegant fragrances.
