Aldehyde C-16 (Strawberry Aldehyde)

Aldehyde C-16, commonly known as Strawberry Aldehyde, is a popular aroma chemical prized for its sweet, fruity, and intensely strawberry-like scent. Known chemically as Ethyl Methyl Phenyl Glycidate, it is widely used in perfumery and flavor creation to produce a juicy, natural strawberry aroma that adds vibrancy and sweetness to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Aldehyde C-16 functions primarily as a top note, delivering an immediate burst of fresh, fruity sweetness. It is often used in fruity florals, gourmand perfumes, berry accords, and dessert-inspired fragrances, where it contributes a playful and delicious character.

The material blends beautifully with berry notes such as raspberry and blackberry, enhancing the realism of fruit accords. It also pairs well with floral notes like rose and jasmine, adding a juicy sweetness that brightens floral compositions. In gourmand perfumes, it combines wonderfully with vanilla, caramel, and creamy notes to create indulgent dessert-like fragrances.

Beyond fine fragrance, Aldehyde C-16 is widely used in soaps, shampoos, candles, body care products, and home fragrances, where its bright strawberry scent adds a fresh and inviting aroma.
