HYDROXYCITRONELLAL – fresh green floral note with lily of the valley, dewy petals and white melon

HYDROXYCITRONELLAL

HYDROXYCITRONELLAL is one of the classic materials of the lily-of-the-valley family, with a fresh, green and transparent floral character. Its strength lies in creating petal volume and an impression of dew-covered flowers without becoming overly sweet or creamy.

Olfactory profile

Lily of the valley, white petals, green, sweet and slightly tropical, with nuances of white melon and green citrus. In formula it can also recall linden blossom, peony and lilac.

In formula

HYDROXYCITRONELLAL is particularly useful in lily-of-the-valley, peony, lilac, linden and fresh-floral accords. It can add breadth to the heart, make white flowers more transparent and create a clean, dewy-petal sensation.

With brighter materials such as HEDIONE® it increases air and diffusion; with salicylates and musks it makes the heart softer and more continuous; with green and citrus notes it builds very natural-feeling fresh florals.

How to work with it

Its effect is often more interesting in an accord than alone. To understand its role, it is useful to test it in a lily-of-the-valley or peony base and observe how it modifies volume, freshness and softness in the heart.

When to choose it

It is particularly suitable for lily of the valley, peony, lilac, linden, white flowers and green florals when a clean, transparent petal freshness with a light melon nuance is desired.
