A powerful citrus-fatty aroma reminiscent of orange and mandarin peel with a distinctly waxy, aldehydic undertone. Bright and juicy on top, it quickly reveals an oily, slightly soapy character similar to aliphatic aldehydes but rounder and less sharp. Often described as bridging citrus and fatty-waxy notes.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Powerful, somewhat musty-fatty, walnut-like odor, with a vague resemblance to aliphatic aldehydes in its diffusive power and radiant odor.
Has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, e.g. where the alkalinity in the functional product may cause decomposition of aldehydic components of similar odor.
Produced from decyl bromide plus sodium cyanide.
