lactonic
base
Aldehyde C-18, chemically known as Gamma-Nonalactone, is a synthetic aroma ingredient renowned for its rich coconut, creamy, milky, and tropical character. Despite the name "aldehyde," this material belongs to the lactone family and is one of the most important ingredients used to create realistic coconut effects in modern perfumery.
Its aroma is smooth, creamy, and distinctly reminiscent of fresh coconut flesh, with soft milky undertones and a warm tropical sweetness. The material imparts a velvety lactonic texture that enhances richness and body in fragrance compositions, making it especially valuable in gourmand, solar, and exotic accords.
In perfumery, Aldehyde C-18 is widely used to build coconut accords, tropical fruit compositions, creamy floral fragrances, and warm gourmand creations. It blends exceptionally well with vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, cacao, jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang, musks, and amber materials, adding softness and an indulgent creamy character.
Highly appreciated in fine fragrance, personal care products, and functional perfumery, Aldehyde C-18 remains an essential building block for creating authentic coconut notes and luxurious tropical effects with excellent stability and versatility.
