Aldehyde C-9 (10% in DPG) – Smooth, Creamy Aldehyde with Citrus-Waxy Freshness
Aldehyde C-9, also known as Nonanal, is a soft, citrusy-waxy aldehyde widely used in fine fragrances to impart a creamy, airy, and sophisticated top note. This 10% dilution in DPG makes it easy to blend while maintaining performance and character. It's a staple in aldehydic floral perfumes and adds a clean, elegant lift in soaps, shampoos, and candles. Its subtle citrus character makes it ideal for modern and vintage compositions alike.
