A muguet-type Schiff base condensation product of hydroxycitronellal and para-methyl acetophenone. Smells of soft lily-of-the-valley and linden blossom with a green, slightly waxy-creamy nuance and mild sweetness. Rounder and more tenacious than hydroxycitronellal itself, with a subtle powdery drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Uses in perfumery

The combination with Hydroxycitronellal is a step in the direction of 'taming' the initial harsh notes of the Acetophenones, and in this respect one can say the subject condensation material serves a purpose and deserves a space on the perfumer’s shelf.

Production

Produced by condensation of Hydroxycitronellal with para-Methylacetophenone.
