Description
Veratraldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde highly valued in fine perfumery for its rich, warm, and complex scent profile. Appearing as yellow crystalline needles, it delivers a predominantly sweet, woody, and vanilla-like aroma enhanced by caramel, cherry, and creamy nuances. Powdery and herbal facets add refinement, while subtle phenolic undertones contribute depth and character to its overall olfactory signature.
With heliotrope and coumarin-like qualities, Veratraldehyde brings sophistication and warmth to fragrance compositions. It is especially effective in oriental accords and woody-musky bases, where it enhances richness and longevity. Often regarded as warmer and deeper than vanillin, it can be used as an alternative to or in combination with anisaldehyde, making it a versatile and valuable ingredient in modern and classic perfumery.
