2-Methyl-4-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-Cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-Butenal

2-Methyl-4-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-Cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-Butenal, commercially known as Safraleine, is a synthetic aroma chemical specifically engineered to replicate the distinctive saffron-like odor profile of safranal, the key odorant found in Crocus sativus. It delivers a warm, spicy, hay-like, and slightly leathery facet that is characteristic of precious saffron, making it highly valued in luxury and niche perfumery. Formulators choose Safraleine as a cost-effective and consistent alternative to natural saffron extracts, offering superior stability and reproducibility in fine fragrances, personal care products, and cosmetic formulations.
