  • Applications

    Cyclohexyl nonanoate (CAS 1551-41-3) is primarily employed as an aroma ingredient in perfumery, where it functions as a fragrance component and a fixative that helps stabilize and extend scent profiles. It is also used in cosmetics and personal care products as a fragrance ingredient in formulations such as lotions, creams, and shampoos. In household products, it appears in air fresheners and other fragranced cleaners as part of the aroma system. The ester may also be evaluated for use in fragrance and flavor formulations, or as a specialty ingredient within broader formulation matrices, subject to regulatory limits. Use should comply with local regulations and formulation constraints.
