Aldehyde C-12 MNA is a long-chain aldehyde with very high impact, radiating a bright, clean “aldehydic” sparkle with citrus-waxy facets, a faint metallic sheen, and a crisp green bite. Even trace amounts create lift and air, modernize the profile, brighten top notes, expand perceived space, and polish floral–citrus–soapy structures.

In perfumery it acts as a powerful booster for white florals, rose, citrus, ozonic, and clean-soap accords. It imparts a classic aldehydic elegance, increases diffusion and long-distance recognition, and dries down to a neat, dry, freshly laundered trail on skin and fabric.

The material performs especially well where high diffusion and a clean impression are desired: fine fragrance, body mists, bar soaps, shower gels, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and scented candles. Its stability in mildly alkaline bases helps the “soapy-clean” signature persist through a product’s full life, notably in laundry and fabric care.

Handle with a light hand: typical use ranges from mere trace levels to 0.05–0.20% in fine fragrance; higher levels may be used in home and fabric care depending on the formula. Pre-dilute into alcohol or a suitable solvent before blending with florals and citrus to preserve brilliance and transparency.

A colorless to pale yellow liquid, it dissolves well in ethanol and aromatic solvents and is only slightly soluble in water. Store tightly closed, cool, and protected from light and oxidation to maintain its signature clarity. SCENT supplies Aldehyde C-12 MNA to industry standards, suitable for both formulation trials and production.
