Technical Details

Specification values can vary by grade and supplier. Use the actual batch COA for guaranteed purity, colour, density, refractive index and other parameters.

Typical Commercial Specification

Some commercial specifications list 98–99% purity grades, while other fragrance-grade products are supplied at different assay levels. Therefore, avoid putting a fixed “99% purity” claim on your website unless it matches your actual Raiko product COA.

Professional Fragrance Blending

Alpha Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde works particularly well with:

Benzyl Acetate • Benzyl Alcohol • Benzyl Benzoate • DMBCA • Hydroxycitronellal • Linalool • Geraniol • Citronellol • Hedione • Phenethyl Alcohol • Ylang-Ylang materials • Jasmine bases • Gardenia bases • Tuberose bases • Musk materials

Best Fragrance Directions

Jasmine + Benzyl Acetate + Alpha Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde
→ fuller jasmine-floral effect

Gardenia + Alpha Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde + Benzyl Salicylate
→ richer white-floral character

Tuberose + Alpha Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde + floral musks
→ creamy, sweet floral direction

For professional formulation, the material should be evaluated within the complete formula because its character can become prominent at higher concentrations.

Alpha Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde for Agarbatti

AACA can be useful in jasmine, floral, gardenia and premium incense fragrance compounds.

For agarbatti, it is better used as part of a complete perfume system with appropriate floral, woody, balsamic, musk and fixative materials, rather than as a standalone fragrance.
