BENZALDEHYDE – sweet, almondy and fruity note with hints of cherry, marzipan and bitter almond

BENZALDEHYDE

BENZALDEHYDE is a high-impact raw material with an almond, cherry and slightly marzipan-like character. In perfumery it is especially valuable for building realistic gourmand and fruity accents, but it can also play an interesting role as a micro-accent in certain florals.

Olfactory profile

Bitter almond, cherry, marzipan and stone-pit facets, with sweet, fruity and slightly spicy nuances. The character is immediate and recognizable, so careful dosage is required.

In formula

It is particularly useful in almond, cherry, marzipan, pistachio, plum, peach, apricot, rum, gourmand and liqueur accords. In traces it can also add liveliness and a more natural effect to lilac, sweet pea and other florals.

With ANISIC ALDEHYDE it develops a more powdery, creamy sweetness; with vanilla it becomes more marzipan-like; with red fruits it increases the cherry-stone component; with RUM or COGNAC BASE it creates a richer liqueur effect.

How to work with it

It is a very powerful material and is best evaluated in dilution. At minimal levels it may simply suggest a stone-pit or almond nuance; as the dosage increases, the marzipan-cherry character quickly becomes dominant.

When to choose it

It is particularly suitable when a bitter-almond, cherry or stone-pit note is needed, or when a fruity gourmand requires greater realism and tension.

Packaging

The product is packed to order; the container may vary depending on the selected format and the characteristics of the raw material.
