Safranal is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume and air fresheners.

Use

Safranal has a green spice scent that is primarily reminiscent of saffron. The smell is quite strong, making a dilution of say 10% in DPG can therefore be useful. Typical use is in leather chords, for example for aftershave. You usually use a trace of up to 0.5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. This limitation is not only because of the odor strength, it is also quite an allergenic substance. In addition to being used in leather accords, it can give interesting aspects in combination with green fragrances, wood, spices or, for example, herbs. It is mainly a heart note in perfumes that also penetrates into the base.

De Hekserij does not sell products intended for use in foodstuffs or for other internal use.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

The 10 and 50 ml packaging is made of brown glass with a black child-resistant cap. The 250 g package is made of aluminum with a stopper and a white cap.
