A creamy, jasmine-like floral aldehyde with a distinctly fatty, waxy character and a soft herbaceous-oily undertone reminiscent of chamomile and cumin. Warm and diffusive, it rounds out white-floral accords with a slightly greasy sweetness that persists for hours.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 73.
Pale yellowish oily liquid.
Soluble in alcohol and perfume materials. Insoluble in water.
Very mild oily-herbaceous and somewhat floral odor, reminiscent of many types of natural flowers, but mostly of Jasmin, Gardenia and Tuberose.
Used very extensively in perfumes, including soap perfumes. Introduces Jasmin-like floralness when accompanied by more volatile chemicals of floral character. Blends excellently and assists in fixation of the fragrance. There is a marked difference in odor quality and floral effect between high-grade Amyl cinnamic aldehyde and regular or commercial grade. Lots from various producers also show considerable difference in odor quality. Amyl cinnamic aldehyde is very susceptible to oxidation unless properly treated with an antioxidant. Old or oxidized Amyl cinnamic aldehyde has objectionable, rancid-fatty odor. Lower grades of Amyl cinnamic aldehyde may show by-odor of Benzaldehyde, Heptaldehyde or Amyl nonenal, sometimes called Di-heptenal. Concentration in perfumes may vary from 2 to 10%, in exceptional cases up to 30-35%.
Used in flavor compositions for imitation Apple, Apricot, Peach, Spice, Strawberry, Walnut, usually in traces only. In chewing gum the concentration may reach 15 ppm.
Produced from Heptanal (from cracked Castor oil) by condensation with Benzaldehyde in alkaline solution. The vacuum distilled product is stabilized with 0.15 to 0.5% Diphenylamine as an antioxidant.
