Myraldene ®
Synthetic Ingredient for Perfumery
Myraldene, an aldehydic fragrance ingredient, exhibits a high odor strength, best experienced in dilution. Its multifaceted profile includes waxy-citrus and fresh-floral notes, akin to Dodecanal and Cyclamal. Ideal for soap-making, it adds a clean, light freshness, complementing Pine, Muguet, Violet, and Lilac scents.
Economical, it's suitable for industrial masking and large-volume products. Myraldene synergizes with Ionones and Cyclohexane derivatives in contemporary soap fragrances

It blends well with lonones and the Cedarwood-like Cyclohexane derivatives in modern soap odors.
This aldehyde, marketed several decades ago (patented by Givaudan around the '70s) has taken a long time to become popular.
It is beyond doubt, that the aldehyde has an excellent influence on Bergamot and other citrusy odors, and that its effect includes the "aldehydic" top-note effect to a certain degree.
I have been personally using quite a lot of this aldehyde in Marine \ Aquatic and citrusy-fresh complexes.
Myraldene ® \ Empetal is the precursor of Lyral.
We can in fact with a direct Hydration, obtain a poor yield of the desired Lyral.
