Cyclamen Aldehyde, with CAS number 103-95-7, is a synthetic fragrance compound known for its fresh, floral, and slightly green character, reminiscent of the cyclamen flower. It is often used in perfumery to impart a delicate, airy quality to compositions, making it a popular choice in floral and fruity fragrances. Cyclamen Aldehyde typically serves as a top note, contributing to the initial impression of a scent, and can also be found in heart notes, where it enhances the overall floral bouquet. In formulations, it is valued for its ability to blend well with other floral notes, as well as with green and fruity accords, providing a sense of freshness and lightness. While Cyclamen Aldehyde is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and fragrances, it is important for formulators to be aware of any potential regulatory restrictions or safety assessments, particularly in relation to IFRA guidelines. As with many fragrance ingredients, it is advisable to use it within recommended limits to ensure consumer safety and compliance with regulatory standards. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
