Cinnamic alcohol

This text has been automatically translated and may contain errors. Cinnamon alcohol is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume and soap.

Use

Cinnamon alcohol has a sweet spicy scent reminiscent of sweet flowers and spices. The fragrance is not particularly strong and can therefore be used undiluted. Typical use is in narcotic floral scents such as hyacinth or oriental scents. You usually use between 0.1% and 4% of this substance in the fragrance composition, but in older formulations an outlier to 20% or more is possible. It combines well ambers and certain floral scents, such as rose. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap. Cinnamon alcohol is solid at room temperature, so a 25% solution (for example in DPG) can be useful. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

Properties

The substance has a reasonable shelf life, but is sensitive to oxidation by oxygen from the air. The substance occurs in nature, in spices and flowers. For use as a fragrance, the synthetic version is used.
