What It Does
Nectaryl (2-(2-(4-Methyl-3-Cyclohexen-1-yl)propyl)cyclopentanone) is a synthetic aroma chemical developed by Givaudan, prized for its rich, velvety peach and nectarine scent with subtle woody and musky undertones. It is a relatively modern fragrance molecule that closely mimics the natural aroma of ripe stone fruits, offering excellent tenacity and diffusion on skin. Formulators choose Nectaryl for its ability to impart a lush, fruity-floral character to fine fragrances, personal care products, and home care formulations, often serving as a key heart or base note that enhances the overall sensory profile.
