Aldehyde C-12 Lauric
Fragrance Profile
Aldehyde C-12 Lauric (chemically known as Dodecanal) is a classic and highly impactful aroma chemical in classical and modern perfumery, renowned for its intense, fresh, and distinctly soapy character. It provides a radiant, waxy, and clean aldehydic profile with delicate citrus (orange/mandarin) and fresh floral undertones. As a powerful top and heart note, it adds immense volume, extreme lift, and a classic "washed" freshness to fragrance compositions.
Suitable for both niche and commercial fragrance development, Aldehyde C-12 Lauric blends effortlessly with floral bouquets (especially rose, violet, and tuberose), citrus accords, and musks, making it an absolute necessity for modern clean, aldehydic-floral, and fresh soap perfume creation. Developed for professional perfumers, fragrance manufacturers, perfume brands, and research laboratories, our Aldehyde C-12 Lauric delivers consistent, high-purity quality and outstanding stability—performing exceptionally well in demanding functional bases like soaps and detergents—for large-scale commercial production.
