Aldehyde C-18

Aldehyde C-18 is a creamy, coconut-like fragrance material widely used in perfumery and flavor applications. Despite its name, it is a lactone rather than a true aldehyde. It provides a rich, milky sweetness that enhances coconut, creamy, and tropical accords. The material adds smoothness and warmth to gourmand and fruity compositions. Aldehyde C-18 is commonly used in fine fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, and flavor blends.
