Description
Cinnamic aldehyde, also known as cinnamaldehyde, is a powerful and character-defining perfumery ingredient renowned for its intense spicy warmth and exceptional longevity. Appearing as a clear, oily liquid ranging from pale to dark yellow, this material delivers a bold and unmistakable aroma reminiscent of cassia, cinnamon bark, and fiery red-hot spice candies. Its odor strength is robust and commanding, making it a high-impact component even at very low concentrations. With remarkable substantivity—lasting up to 212 hours on paper—cinnamic aldehyde is best appreciated and controlled when used in dilutions of 10% or less. It is a cornerstone material in spicy, oriental, gourmand, and classic fragrance compositions, adding heat, depth, and unmistakable character.
