Lyral by IFF (Leerall)

CAS: 31906-04-4

Lyral® by IFF, chemically known as Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (HICC), is a distinctive floral fragrance material particularly valued for its soft, clean, fresh, and diffusive muguet character. It provides the recognizable impression of lily of the valley, with a smoothness that makes it highly useful in building elegant floral structures.

Its scent profile is fresh, floral, clean, and softly green, accompanied by delicate watery, slightly sweet, and petal-like nuances. Rather than producing a dense or narcotic floral effect, it creates a more transparent sensation reminiscent of fresh white flowers, tender petals, and dewy greenery.

One of the important characteristics of Lyral® is the body and continuity it can provide to floral accords. It helps create a fuller muguet effect while smoothing the transition between different components, giving the overall fragrance a more harmonious and polished floral character.

From a functional perspective, Lyral® can perform particularly well as a Heart / Blender. Its floral identity allows it to contribute directly to the heart of a fragrance, while its smooth character can help connect floral, green, citrus, woody, and musky elements.

It is particularly suitable for muguet accords, white florals, fresh floral compositions, clean and soapy fragrances, and other compositions requiring a smooth, recognizable floral freshness. It combines effectively with hydroxycitronellal, cyclamen-type materials, rose and jasmine notes, green materials, citrus notes, woods, and musks.

The beauty of Lyral® lies in its ability to provide muguet freshness without excessive sharpness. It can give floral compositions a feeling of cleanliness, volume, softness, and diffusion, making it useful when seeking an elegant and well-integrated floral heart.

Regulatory Note: Lyral® is banned for use in cosmetic products in the European Union and Saudi Arabia. Applicable IFRA requirements and local regulations should be verified according to the intended product category and destination market.
