Product Description

Cinnamic Aldehyde (Cinnamaldehyde) – Warm, Sweet & Spicy Cinnamon Aroma Chemical

Discover the rich, powerful, and unmistakable aroma of Cinnamic Aldehyde, also known as Cinnamaldehyde or Cinnamal, a high-impact fragrance ingredient widely recognized for its warm, spicy, and sweet cinnamon character.

Fragrance Lab™ Pakistan presents Cinnamic Aldehyde as a versatile aroma chemical for professional perfumers, fragrance developers, and DIY perfume enthusiasts who want to introduce authentic cinnamon-like warmth and spicy intensity into their fragrance compositions.

Cinnamic Aldehyde is the principal odour component associated with cinnamon bark. It delivers a distinctive warm-spicy fragrance profile with sweet, sharp, and slightly balsamic nuances, making it particularly valuable in oriental-style, amber, spicy, gourmand, and woody fragrance accords.

Its strong aromatic character makes it especially effective for adding a noticeable cinnamon accent to perfume compositions. Even small quantities can have a significant influence on the overall fragrance balance.

In fine perfumery, Cinnamic Aldehyde can help create warm spicy hearts, enhance cinnamon-based accords, and introduce rich aromatic contrast when blended with complementary woody, amber, vanilla, and balsamic ingredients.

This material can be useful in fragrance concepts inspired by warm spices, festive aromas, traditional Arabian perfumery, and contemporary gourmand perfumes.

Whether you are developing an amber fragrance, experimenting with spicy oriental accords, or creating a cinnamon-inspired perfume composition, Cinnamic Aldehyde offers a distinctive aromatic character for carefully controlled fragrance formulation.
