The ozonic scent provided by this ingredient mimics the characteristic fresh smell of air after rain, a phenomenon known as petrichor in the fragrance world.
Muguet refers to the scent of lily of the valley, a flower so toxic that its aroma must always be synthetically recreated for safe use in perfumes.
Synthetic ingredients like heptanal, 6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl- contribute to sustainability in perfumery by reducing the need to overexploit rare natural raw materials, thereby protecting fragile ecosystems.
The IFRA Standards form an industry self-regulatory system. They may prohibit or restrict the use of particular fragrance ingredients, or set specifications, according to end use. The status below reflects the IFRA data recorded for this ingredient. It is not a product certification and does not replace applicable law or assessment of the finished product.
IFRA categories group end uses by the type and level of exposure. A restriction or maximum concentration applies only to the stated category and does not automatically apply to another use. Check the related IFRA document for the applicable Standard version and its full conditions.

The safety of heptanal, 6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl- has been evaluated by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), and a related scientific study has been published. Multiple investigations into its use at normal concentrations showed no evidence of skin irritation. However, a potential for skin sensitization was noted at concentrations much higher than those used in everyday products.
To prevent sensitization, RIFM has established a maximum acceptable concentration level, and the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has issued safe-use standards for home and personal care products. Although an ingredient may have the potential for skin sensitization, most people will not be affected. Every skin type is different, so consult a healthcare professional with any questions.
