Aldehyde C-12 MNA

À propos de cette matière

What marvellous wonders of perfumery are created by the judicious use of Aldehyde C-12 MNA. It singlehandedly adds character to Raphael's 1944 Replique (one of the forgotten masterpieces of classical perfumery), it adds a je ne sais quoi to Monsieur Roucel's novel Eau de Cologne (2000) for Helmut Lang and it was perfumery's metaphorical shot heard around the world when Ernest Beaux overdosed it with three other aldehydes (C-10, C-11 Undecylenic, and C-12 Lauric) in No 5 for Coco Chanel's first foray into scent. And, if I may be so bold as to name myself amongst these luminaries of our art, at an overdose of 0.3% I use it to add an amber sweetness to the French lavender top note of my perfume… — Fraterworks
