Fragrance allergens › Hexyl Cinnamal

Hexyl Cinnamal

Hexyl Cinnamal (CAS 101-86-0) 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: 17 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.

What Hexyl Cinnamal smells like

Soft, waxy jasmine aldehyde, cleaner and more chamomile-fruity than the amyl homologue, with excellent substantivity. Workhorse jasmine-gardenia base note across fine and functional perfumery.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

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.
