Mefranal opens with refreshing lemon-geranium brightness—clean, aldehydic, and immediately uplifting. The floral heart reveals lily-of-the-valley character that feels vibrant rather than heavy, while aldehydic facets add sophistication. Unlike typical citrus materials that fade quickly, Mefranal maintains its fresh, bright character well into the late heart. Mefranal bridges citrus top notes and floral hearts beautifully. Its unique structure allows it to extend further into compositions than typical citrus materials, maintaining freshness where others would have evaporated. Use it to add aldehydic lift to muguet accords, or to bring geranium-citrus brightness to peony and fresh floral compositions. The material excels in functional perfumery where its outstanding stability in fabric conditioners, shampoos, and detergents is invaluable. Work with Mefranal at up to 2–3% of your concentrate. The exceptional substantivity makes it remarkable value for lasting freshness. It shows excellent stability in most applications except acidic products and liquid bleach. Blend with other muguet materials for bright lily accords, or pair with geranium and citrus notes for sophisticated fresh florals.
