Aldehyde C-12 Lauric (10% in DPG) – Luxurious, Soapy & Sparkling Floral Aldehyde
Aldehyde C-12 Lauric (also known as Dodecanal) is a long-chain aliphatic aldehyde celebrated for its clean, waxy, citrusy-floral aroma with strong soapy character. It's widely used in fine perfumery to add brightness and elegance, especially in floral, oceanic, and aldehydic accords. At 10% dilution in DPG, it becomes easier to blend and control in formulations for perfumes, soaps, lotions, candles, and other fragranced products.
