Dimethyl Acetaldeyde Phenyl Acetate (PADMA)
SYNTHETIC INGREDIENT FOR PERFUMERY
Dimethyl Acetaldeyde Phenyl Acetate (PADMA) is a medium-strength fragrance compound with a pleasant floral-rosy and green scent, accompanied by subtle mushroom-like notes. Its odor profile offers a powerful green-earthy aroma, distinct from the pungency of Phenylacetaldehyde and lacking the bitter-almond undertones.
