Aldehyde C-8 (Octanal) 10% in DPG

Aldehyde C-8 (10% in DPG), also known as Octanal, is a sharp and radiant aroma molecule known for its fresh citrusy character with subtle waxy and fatty nuances, reminiscent of orange peel and clean aldehydic brightness. It is widely used in perfumery to create sparkling, diffusive top notes and enhance freshness in compositions.
