Other names :
((3,7-dimethyl-6-octenyl)oxy)-acetaldehyde ; Citronellyloxyacetaldehyde ; Citronelloxyacetaldehyde ; Aldehyde muguet ; 6,10-dimethyl-3-oxa-9-undecenal ; (3,7-dimethyl-6-octenyl) oxyacetaldehyde
Volatility :
Head/Heart
Uses in perfumery :
Muguet Aldehyde is used in floral-aldehydic and green notes of lily of the valley, to bring an aldehydic effect. It is over all used in functional perfumery.
Natural availability :
Muguet Aldehyde is not found on a natural state.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
Muguet Aldehyde has a molecular structure and a smell close to Citronellol. It has a more metallic and citric note, close to Geraniol. Most of the time, this ingredient is diluted at 50% in DEP to facilitate its usage and to limit its olfactive power. Also foundable diluated in TEC or in BB.
Price Range :
Data not available.
Stability :
This molecule may form Schiff bases by reacting with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example, forming another colored and differently smelling compound.
