What It Does
Nectaryl (2-(2-(4-methyl-3-cyclohexenyl)propyl)cyclopentanone) is a synthetic aroma chemical developed by Givaudan, prized for its distinctive fresh, fruity, and peach-like scent with subtle floral and woody nuances reminiscent of nectarine. It belongs to the cyclopentanone family of fragrance molecules and is widely used in fine fragrance, personal care, and cosmetic formulations to impart a modern, clean fruity character. Formulators choose Nectaryl for its excellent substantivity, good stability across a range of cosmetic matrices, and its ability to add a sophisticated, natural-smelling fruitiness that blends seamlessly with floral, musky, and woody accords.
