Citral
CAS: 5392-40-5
Powerful , lemon , diffusive , aldehyde , adds brightness and lift
Arctander has this to say about it: "Widely used as a powerful Lemon-fragrance chemical, but suffers from poor stability in many types of functional products. Air, alkali and daylight have a deteriorating influence upon this aldehyde, and Anthranilates, Indole, Quinolines and many other perfume chemicals form dark colored reaction products with Citral. Accordingly, its use is somewhat restricted and there is a low limit of concentration of Citral for most perfumes.“
