ALDEHYDE C-18 (COCONUT)

INCI Name: Gamma-Nonalactone

Synonyms: Coconut Aldehyde, Abricolin

Origin: Aromatic synthesis

 

DESCRIPTION

Aldehyde C-18, known for its coconut-lactonic character, is a key molecule in building creamy, solar, and gourmand accords.

Its profile is sweet, milky, and velvety, with a clear evocation of fresh coconut and creamy pulp, accompanied by warm, slightly buttery nuances.
Compared to more fruity lactones, it offers a more rounded and enveloping result, capable of adding depth without becoming overly sweet.

It is an extremely versatile raw material, used both to build tropical and solar accords, and to enrich floral, amber, and woody bases with a well-integrated creamy facet.

 

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Aldehyde C-18 is one of the key materials for constructing coconut, solar, and creamy gourmand accords.

Even in small amounts, it can transform an accord, making it softer, rounder, and more enveloping.
It is particularly effective in floral compositions (tuberose, ylang ylang, jasmine) and fruity accords, where it introduces a lactonic, velvety dimension that enhances the perception of naturalness.

It can be used both as a characterizing element (for coconut/tropical accords) and as a supporting component, useful for adding depth and comfort to the base of the fragrance.

 

Olfactory family: Gourmand

Olfactory pyramid: Heart-Base note

 

COSMETICS

In cosmetics, Aldehyde C-18 is one of the most effective molecules for creating a soft, creamy, and enveloping olfactory sensation, particularly appreciated in sensorial formulations.

It is used in creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and body products, where it makes the fragrance warmer and more comforting, enhancing the overall user experience.
Its coconut-lactonic character is ideal for solar, gourmand, or skincare lines, where a rich yet balanced olfactory signature is desired.

From a formulation perspective, it integrates easily into standard cosmetic bases and works in synergy with vanilla, floral, and musky notes, helping to make the accord more rounded and uniform.
It helps smooth and harmonize the fragrance, improving the overall perception without overpowering the other components.
