Product Description

Lanxess Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde (HCA) is a key aroma chemical prized for its elegant, jasmine-like floral character. Compared to Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde (ACA), it offers a more refined, less fatty olfactory profile while maintaining similar floral warmth. Its excellent substantivity and ability to assist in fixation make it a preferred choice in fine fragrances, soaps, shampoos, deodorants, and antiperspirants. HCA also enhances the sensory appeal of household products like detergents, fabric softeners, and air care formulations, providing a lasting impression of clean floral freshness.
