ABOUT

Bourgeonal is a synthetic aromatic aldehyde known for a clean, green lily-of-the-valley character—crisp, watery and slightly ozonic with a delicate powdery floral facet that can evoke both dewy muguet and a fresh sea-breeze. Used as a brightening top/heart modifier, it lifts aldehydic florals, fougères and marine accords to add diffusion and modern freshness, often paired with other green florals, hydroxycitronellal and ozonic notes and dosed carefully to avoid soapy or metallic oversharpness.
