Lavender Aldehyde – 10%

Description and usage notes:

Lavender aldehyde is one of the key odour character elements in natural lavender oil that makes it smell of lavender, despite being present at very low levels.

In fragrances it is an effective booster for natural lavender and can lend a natural aspect to recreations.  It also has, at low concentration, a very attractive refreshing, green note that you wouldn’t suspect from smelling the pure material.

Arctander describes, what was then a novel ingredient, like this: “Powerful, herbaceous-resinous, slightly minty odor with woody-Lavender-like undertone and moderate to poor tenacity.”
