Aldehyde C-12 is a powerful aliphatic aldehyde widely used in perfumery for its clean, fresh, and slightly soapy character. It provides a bright, diffusive lift that enhances aldehydic and floral compositions. The material adds sparkle and radiance to top notes, especially in classic perfume structures. Even at very low concentrations, it delivers strong projection and freshness. Aldehyde C-12 is commonly used in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic formulations.
