Cinnamic Aldehyde FCC

Cinnamic Aldehyde (FCC) is a well-known fragrance and flavor ingredient valued in perfumery for its warm, spicy, and distinctly cinnamon-like character. Its scent profile is typically described as rich, sweet, and slightly balsamic, closely resembling fresh cinnamon bark, with subtle woody and gourmand nuances that add depth and warmth to fragrance compositions.

The material usually appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with moderate viscosity, and is appreciated for its strong aromatic impact and lasting presence, even at low concentrations. Its character is intense and expressive, making it particularly effective for introducing a natural spicy warmth into a composition.

Cinnamic Aldehyde is especially valued for its ability to deliver a true-to-nature cinnamon note, bringing a warm, inviting, and slightly sweet spice that enhances both classic and modern fragrance structures.

In practical perfumery, Cinnamic Aldehyde is frequently used to build spicy, oriental, and gourmand accords, while also enhancing floral compositions such as carnation and spicy rose accords. It blends particularly well with clove-like notes, eugenol, vanilla, balsamic resins, amber materials, and woody ingredients, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including oriental perfumes, spicy florals, warm gourmand fragrances, and classic compositions.
