What it smells like

Aldehydes smell sparkling, waxy and slightly soapy, like fizzing champagne, freshly ironed linen and cool metal. They are not a single flower or fruit but a shimmering, abstract brightness that lifts other notes in a fragrance. They appear in the top and add a clean, luminous, sometimes vintage sparkle. They pair well with florals, musks and woods, giving compositions an elegant, effervescent character.
