alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde
CAS Number: 122-40-7
The statistical data we collected from 79 public perfume formulas suggests that the mean dose for alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde is 3.5%. The typical lower limit is 1.3%, and the usual higher limit is 6.0%. The highest amount of alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde we encountered in any single formula is 15%, and the lowest was 0.050%.
Please note that according to the IFRA Standard Category 4, the level of alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde should not exceed 7.0% of the final product. Assuming that you will be using your formula for an alcoholic perfume at a 10% dilution, this means you should only use alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde at 70% or less of the formula.
