2-Cyclohexylidene-2-phenylacetonitrile

2-Cyclohexylidene-2-phenylacetonitrile, commercially known as Peonile, is a synthetic nitrile-based fragrance molecule prized for its fresh, green, and distinctly peony-like floral character with subtle rosy nuances. It is produced through organic synthesis involving the condensation of cyclohexanone with phenylacetonitrile, yielding a stable, low-volatility aroma compound. Formulators choose Peonile for its ability to impart a clean, transparent floral note in fine fragrances, personal care products, and rinse-off applications, where it contributes excellent diffusion and blends harmoniously with other floral and musky accords.
