A. Fine Fragrance & Perfumery
Top-Note Freshness: Introduces realistic green foliage, dew-soaked grass, and natural stem accents to floral compositions (such as lily of the valley, rose, and jasmine).
Citrus Accord Enhancer: Synergizes with citrus oils (grapefruit, bergamot, lemon) to elevate diffusion and impart a fresh-squeezed natural sparkle.
B. Personal Care & Cosmetics
Soaps & Body Washes: Adds crisp, refreshing notes that withstand saponification and base coverage in bath products.
Hair Care & Creams: Provides a subtle natural green undertone to shampoo and lotion fragrance profiles.
C. Home Care & Fabric Care
Laundry Detergents & Softeners: Delivers high impact and bloom in fabric washing formulations, maintaining scent retention on clean textiles.
Air Care & Hard Surface Cleaners: Effectively covers industrial base odors while projecting clean, outdoor-fresh aromas in household spray formulations.
FAQ
A1: Ligustral is recognized for its high impact and diffusion even at low concentration levels (typically used at 0.1% to 2.0% in fragrance concentrates). Compared to aliphatic green aldehydes like Cis-3-Hexenol or C-8/C-9 aldehydes, Ligustral offers superior heart-note tenacity and a rounder, leafy-citrus profile.
A3: Because aldehydes can oxidize when exposed to air and warmth, Ligustral should be stored in full, tightly sealed aluminum or dark HDPE containers under cool conditions (preferably 10°C–25°C), away from direct light and heat sources. Nitrogen blanketing is recommended for opened bulk drums.
A4: We supply Ligustral in standard 25 kg fluorinated HDPE drums, 200 kg steel drums with epoxy lining, and sample quantities for lab evaluation and olfactory matching.
A5: Yes. We provide full technical dossier packages, including IFRA certificates stating category limits, Allergen Statements, GHS-compliant SDS, and COAs with every commercial shipment.
