Safranal (10% in DPG) is a pre-diluted version of the unique and luxurious aroma compound Safranal, the principal odorant of natural saffron. With its warm, leathery, spicy, slightly woody, and hay-like aroma, Safranal delivers a rich oriental depth to perfumes and attars. This 10% dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) makes it easy to dose and incorporate into oud, amber, incense, oriental, and leather compositions.

Safranal works best as a supportive modifier to recreate the complex aroma of saffron or to add an exotic twist to ambery or woody blends. It blends especially well with materials like Ambroxan, Tolu Balsam, Iso E Super, and Civet for high-end, sophisticated fragrance formulations
