A fatty-waxy aldehydic material with a soft, slightly floral and orange-peel character. Reminiscent of the higher aliphatic aldehydes (C-10/C-11) but rounder and less sharp, with a clean, soapy lift. Adds sparkle and a diffusive 'aldehyde-floral' polish to citrus and floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
