Fragrance allergens › Benzaldehyde
Benzaldehyde (CAS 100-52-7) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 39 materials in this catalog carry it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

Sharp, sweet bitter-almond and maraschino cherry note, the defining aroma of almond extract and amaretto. Essential for cherry, almond, marzipan and heliotrope accords; volatile and prone to oxidation to benzoic acid.
It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.
16 of the 40 carriers in this catalog are naturals and 24 are synthetic. The heaviest carrier that is not the molecule itself is Bitter Almond Essential Oil FFPA, at about 97%.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.
PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
