Compared with the straight-chain aldehydes it smells less of citrus peel and more of warm wax, incense and clean linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it smells like\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaxy and fresh at once, with an ambery, slightly resinous incense note and a herbal, almost mossy edge. It is long-lasting for an aldehyde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow perfumers use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it from a 1% or 10% dilution. MNA gives florals a luminous, powdery-clean halo, adds depth to ambers and incense accords, and pairs well with C-10 and C-11 for a fuller aldehydic top. Keep the dose low; too much turns metallic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlends well with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldehyde C-10, Aldehyde C-9, Hydroxycitronellal, Coumarin, Musks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIFRA \u0026amp; regulatory\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot restricted under the current IFRA Standards (51st Amendment).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor use in perfumery, cosmetics and fragrance manufacturing only.
