UPDATE: 21st April 2021 at 23.55pm. Adam here with an update. More orders are being collected tomorrow, we have still not fully completed some orders from the 12th April but the bulk of them are now done. We have also dispatched many small/easy to assemble orders from the 12th through to the 18th April. Once you see the completed status for your order and within your account, this means the order has been dispatched. I am hopeful by Tuesday 27th April that all orders should be dispatched. We will be working throughout the weekend and again if you have an order placed with us, you are our sole priority, so feel free to get in touch should you have any questions. Emails are being checked twice a day. I apologise to those who are wanting to place orders with us but sincerely right now it can’t be allowed to happen as we have more orders than usual still to process. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Aldehydes are used very widely in perfumery and by no means all of them are listed in this category – materials like Hydroxycitronellal and Vanillin may be aldehydes – but they are not what we mean by aldehydic. The aldehydes presented here are all very high-powered ingredients, most but not all occur in nature and typically have effects running from the top-notes of a fragrance through into the heart and even base. A few of the materials listed here, despite being commonly known as such are not in fact aldehydes at all, but they are listed here because they share that characteristic power, which means they need to be used in traces, often in heavy dilution.
We recommend these are all best used at just 1% when blending to avoid over-use and many are also prone to oxidation or polymerisation. Accordingly they are available in very small quantities so that you don’t need to buy more than you can use.
