cuminaldehyde
CAS Number: 122-03-2
The statistical data we collected from 13 public perfume formulas suggests that the mean dose for cuminaldehyde is 0.20%. The typical lower limit is 0.10%, and the usual higher limit is 0.63%. The highest amount of cuminaldehyde we encountered in any single formula is 25%, and the lowest was 0.00060%.
Please note that according to the IFRA Standard Category 4, the level of cuminaldehyde should not exceed 0.47% 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 cuminaldehyde at 4.7% or less of the formula.
