Product description
2,6-Nonadien-1-al is a fragrance material for use in, for example, perfumes and air fresheners. It has an intense, oily green scent reminiscent of (highly concentrated) cucumber and violet. The scent is very strong; making a dilution of, for example, 10%, 1%, or even 0.1% can therefore be beneficial. You usually use a trace amount of this substance, up to 0.2%, in the fragrance composition. It combines well with fruits such as melon, pear, and apple, or floral scents such as cassie, linden blossom, and violet. In perfumes, it serves as a heart and base note, and despite its aldehyde character, it can also be used in soap. A dilution of 10%, or further diluted, can be produced in, for example, DPG. 2,6-Nonadien-1-al is a light yellow to yellow liquid at room temperature. The purity is at least 96%. The substance is fairly sensitive to oxidation and is therefore best replaced annually with a fresh stock. The substance occurs in nature, but the synthetic version is used for use as a fragrance.
