Benzaldehyde (CAS# 100-52-7) is a classic aromatic aldehyde with a simple benzene backbone and a very characteristic bitter almond odour. In nature, it is found in bitter almond oil, apricot kernels, peach kernels and other stone fruit seeds; in industry, it is produced synthetically to ensure consistent purity, stability and reliable supply for the fragrance and cosmetics sectors.
Olfactively, Benzaldehyde opens with a distinct bitter almond note, reminiscent of almond nougat, marzipan, cherry, ripe apricot and dark cherry, with sweet, slightly balsamic and gently warm spicy nuances. It is a very powerful material: even low dosages create a clear impact, so it is typically used to build almond, cherry, apricot, nutty, gourmand and “baked goods” accords.
In perfumery, Benzaldehyde is commonly employed to enrich gourmand and fruity-floral compositions, almond–heliotrope themes, cherry blossom concepts and creations inspired by desserts, milk, coffee or confectionery. It combines particularly well with vanillin, ethyl vanillin, coumarin, heliotropine, cinnamic aldehyde and many white-floral or powdery-floral materials, adding sweetness, roundness and depth while keeping a recognisable signature.
Beyond fine fragrance, Benzaldehyde is widely used in fragrances for cosmetics, personal care products, household cleaners, fabric softeners, air care, wax melts and scented candles, thanks to its clear almond–marzipan character and good substantive power. It is also an important component in the flavour industry, when produced and used under appropriate food-grade regulations, especially in almond, cherry, amaretto, apricot and nutty flavour profiles.
As a high-impact aldehyde, Benzaldehyde should be dosed with care at low levels to avoid overwhelming the composition. The product should be stored in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, protected from light and heat, to minimise oxidation and keep the odour clean and fresh throughout storage and use in formulations.
