Use
Aldehyde C16 strawberry has a scent that is immediately and unmistakably reminiscent of strawberry. The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in fruit accords, especially strawberry and cherry, and in floral accords, especially rose. You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with ionones, damascones, aldehydes and wood. It adds a sweet fruity scent to the whole perfume, from top to base. However, it is mainly a base note in perfumes, it is stable in most products, including soap.
Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

Properties
Aldehyde C16 strawberry is a colourless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The purity is at least 98% and the substance has a fairly long shelf life. It does not occur in nature, it is a synthetic substance.
As with aldehyde C14, aldehyde C16 is not an aldehyde. Here too, the name was coined at the time to deceive the competition. A better name would be ethyl methyl phenyl glycidate, but it is less used. That is why you often see the addition "so called" after the name of this fragrance, it is not an aldehyde, it is called that. It is a synthetic fabric that has been used since the early twentieth century.
