Aldehyde C-8 (10% in DPG) – Bright Citrus-Fatty Top Note for Modern Perfumery
Aldehyde C-8, also known as Octanal, is a sharp, citrusy-fatty aroma chemical widely used in fine fragrance and functional products. In this 10% DPG dilution, it is easier to measure and safer to use, especially for beginner perfumers and formulators. It offers a zesty, slightly waxy orange peel-like top note that enhances brightness and diffusion in floral, aldehydic, and citrus compositions. A staple in classic and contemporary perfumery, it lifts blends and adds sparkling freshness to many olfactory categories.
