  • Applications

    Myrtanal (CAS 4764-14-1) is primarily used as an odorant in perfumery and fragrance applications, contributing fresh myrtle-like notes to related formulations. It may be evaluated for use as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners. In industrial manufacturing, it can serve as an aroma contributor in coatings, inks, or related scent-enhanced materials, and may act as an intermediate in fragrance chemistry. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits, with appropriate handling and safety considerations.
