Description
Additional information
The name "C-20" refers to the number of carbon atoms in the aldehyde molecule, indicating its chemical structure, which directly influences its scent.
Aldehydes became famous in the perfumery world through their groundbreaking use in the iconic Chanel No. 5 in 1921, where they lent an unprecedented abstract dimension to the fragrance.
In modern perfumery, aldehydes like C-20 are used to impart "lift" and brightness to compositions, creating a sparkling quality that is difficult to achieve with natural ingredients.
