🍊 Decanal – Bright Citrus Aldehyde
CAS No. 112-31-2 | Citrus-Soapy Top Note Synonyms: n-Decanal, Capraldehyde, Aldehyde C-10
🧴 Product Description:
Decanal (also known as n-Decanal, Capraldehyde, or Aldehyde C-10) is a powerful citrus aldehyde with a waxy, sweet-orange peel aroma. It provides a bright, aldehydic freshness often associated with classic French perfumery, while also adding clean, soapy undertones to modern blends.
Perfect as a top note enhancer, Decanal helps build structure in floral, aldehydic, and green accords. Use sparingly to give fragrance compositions a fresh lift and a clean citrus edge.
