Cuminaldehyde
Used in 2 formulas
About this material
Cuminaldehyde opens with a warm, spicy aroma reminiscent of cumin, bringing a rich, slightly sweet earthiness to the forefront. As it develops, the scent becomes more complex, revealing a subtle green, almost herbal nuance that adds depth without overpowering. In a formula, it acts as a strong character note, enhancing the overall warmth and spiciness of the composition. It pairs well with other spices like coriander and cardamom, as well as with woody notes to create a rounded, inviting base. Typically used at a dose of 0.050% to 0.05%, it can effectively anchor a fragrance without overwhelming it.
