Silvial® is a synthetic ingredient used primarily to replace regulated aldehydes such as Lilial® or Lyral® in lily of the valley fragrance compositions. It imparts a strong, fresh floral note to fragrances. Silvial® is a fully synthetic ingredient that does not occur in nature and is not extracted from any plant.
Its chemical structure is similar to other synthetic molecules such as Lilial®, Cyclamen Aldehyde®, Bourgeonal® and Florhydral®. All these molecules share a light floral scent, with each offering a different nuance: Cyclamen Aldehyde® leans more marine, Bourgeonal® is greener and Florhydral® carries a fruitier character.
Silvial® was developed by Rhône-Poulenc and patented under patent N°1.430.164 (FR), published on November 13, 1964.
Silvial® was developed more than 55 years ago by Rhône-Poulenc, illustrating perfumery's long-standing quest for stable and reliable synthetic ingredients.
While many consider natural ingredients always better, Silvial® exemplifies how synthetic ingredients can offer greater reliability by replacing regulated substances that may trigger allergic reactions.
Although Silvial® and similar molecules share chemical similarities, small structural differences create entirely distinct scent profiles, ranging from marine and green to fruity notes, demonstrating the remarkable precision of the sense of smell.
