CAS: 78-37-5
Linalyl Cinnamate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C19H26O2 and CAS number 78-37-5. It is an ester formed from Linalool (an acyclic monoterpene alcohol) and Cinnamic acid. It typically presents as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic floral, balsamic, sweet, waxy, and somewhat spicy aroma. It is valued in the fragrance industry for its warm and versatile scent profile.
Primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery. It contributes warm, floral, and balsamic notes to compositions. It can also find limited use in flavor formulations where a sweet, slightly cinnamic, or floral note is desired.
Its main application is in the creation of various fragrance compounds for a wide range of products, including fine fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, air fresheners, and other household products. It is particularly useful in recreating floral accords (e.g., lily, hyacinth) and adding a sweet, warm depth to balsamic and oriental compositions.
Linalyl Cinnamate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic and fragrance products when used within recommended concentrations. However, like many fragrance ingredients, it has the potential to cause skin sensitization in susceptible individuals, particularly due to the presence of the linalool moiety and its metabolites. Regulatory bodies such as IFRA (International Fragrance Association) provide guidelines and maximum usage levels to minimize risks. It should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment and stored in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation.
