ALDEHYDE C16 – fruity, sweet and lactonic note with hints of strawberry, cream and red jam

ALDEHYDE C16

ALDEHYDE C16 is a historical perfumery name: chemically it is not an aldehyde, but an ester known for its strawberry-fruity signature. The material has a sweet, warm and almost candy-like character capable of transforming a fruity accord at very low levels.

Olfactory profile

Strawberry, red fruits, jam, cream and a warm, juicy sweetness. The sensation can recall strawberry syrup or preserve more than freshly cut fruit.

In formula

ALDEHYDE C16 is particularly useful in strawberry and berry accords, but it also works well in rose, jasmine and other florals when a soft fruity nuance is needed. It can add warmth and sweetness to chypre, oriental and woody accords, especially when the fruity facet should blend into the heart rather than remain as a separate top note.

It is a good example of a material that can be used in two ways: as a recognizable strawberry note at higher levels, or as an almost invisible modifier to round and make a floral structure juicier.

ALDEHYDE C16 or GAMMA UNDECALACTONE?

C16 tends toward strawberry, jam and red fruits; GAMMA UNDECALACTONE toward peach, apricot and a milkier creaminess. Together they can build full, ripe fruity accords, but with very different textures.

When to choose it

It is particularly suitable for strawberry, red fruits, rose, jasmine, fruity-gourmand accords and sweet florals when a juicy, warm and persistent note is desired.
