A protected form of cinnamic aldehyde that slowly releases a softened, rounded cinnamon-spice character. Smells warm, sweet and balsamic with a powdery cinnamon facet, but without the harsh, skin-irritating bite of free cinnamaldehyde. Used as a milder, more stable substitute in fine fragrance and functional bases.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Soft, tenacious, natural Cinnamon-type odor, not nearly as harsh as Cinnamic aldehyde, yet rich and lasting as the aldehyde itself.
Has been suggested for use in place of Cinnamic aldehyde where the alkali-instability of the aldehyde is a disadvantage.
