Aldehyde C-12 MNA

Aldehyde C-12 MNA (chemically known as 2-Methylundecanal or Methyl Nonyl Acetaldehyde) is a tremendously powerful and iconic aroma chemical in modern and classical perfumery. Renowned for its sparkling, fresh, and intensely aldehydic character, it uniquely possesses warm, ambery, and incense-like undertones. It provides extreme lift, extraordinary radiance, and a classic "soapy" volume that heavily diffuses top and heart notes.

Suitable for both niche and commercial fragrance development, Aldehyde C-12 MNA blends effortlessly with floral bouquets (especially jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang), woods, musks, and chypre accords, making it an absolute necessity for aldehydic-floral and modern clean perfume creation. Developed for professional perfumers, fragrance manufacturers, perfume brands, and research laboratories, our Aldehyde C-12 MNA delivers consistent, high-purity quality and immense projection for commercial fragrance production.
