Benzaldehyde
Fragrance Profile
Benzaldehyde is a foundational and highly recognizable aroma chemical in classical and modern perfumery, celebrated for its intense, sweet, and penetrating bitter almond and cherry character. As a highly volatile top note, it provides an immediate, mouth-watering marzipan effect, adding a sharp, gourmand fruitiness and nutty sweetness to the very opening of a fragrance composition.
Suitable for both niche and commercial fragrance development, Benzaldehyde blends effortlessly with vanilla, fruity notes, sweet balsams, and powdery florals (like heliotrope and lilac), making it an absolute necessity for gourmand, cherry, and sweet oriental perfume creation. Developed for professional perfumers, fragrance manufacturers, perfume brands, and research laboratories, our Benzaldehyde delivers consistent, high-purity quality for large-scale commercial production, particularly in soaps, lotions, and fine fragrances.
