Phenyl Acetaldehyde Dimethyl Acetal (PADMA), CAS# 101-48-4, is a fragrance ingredient with a characteristic white-floral profile, strongly reminiscent of hyacinth, orange blossom, and fresh rose. Its odour is sweet with a honeyed nuance, yet also green and dewy, carrying a soft powdery touch and gentle fruity undertones that create a vivid and natural floral impression.
At low dosages, PADMA “wakes up” white-flower accords, enhancing the fresh, glossy, and full-petaled facets of florals. It is particularly effective in hyacinth, lilac, muguet, orange blossom, rose, narcissus and similar structures. At higher dosages, PADMA adds diffusion and brightness, laying a smooth green–floral veil over the whole composition and making the floral note clearer, more modern, and less muted by heavier components.
In applications, PADMA is suitable for fine fragrances as well as personal care and home care products such as shower gels, shampoos, lotions, bar soaps, liquid detergents, fabric softeners, hard-surface cleaners, and air fresheners. Thanks to its acetal structure, it is more stable than the free aldehyde form, offering better resistance to heat and alkali and improved performance in detergent bases. This helps preserve the fresh, clean green-floral character on skin and fabric after use.
In formula creation, PADMA is a key modifier for floral–green, floral–aldehydic, and floral–fruity themes. It supports and brightens the top notes while linking smoothly into the heart and base. When combined with ionones, damascones, salicylates, and muguet or lily bases, PADMA contributes to rich, contemporary white-flower bouquets that feel natural yet refined, suitable for styles ranging from sheer and clean to feminine and romantic.
