First let's deal with the naming conventions. Like strawberry glycidate, this chemical is often known under a false name. Strawberry Glycidate: Aldehyde C-16 (so-called); Ethyl 3-methyl-3-phenylglycidateRaspberry Glycidate: Aldehyde C-20 (so-called); Ethyl 3-(4-methylphenyl)glycidate Despite the molecular similarities, the scents (and power) are quite different. Raspberry Glycidate delivers an intense sweet, ripe berry impression with a distinct iris and rose-like florality that sets it apart from its weaker strawberry cousin. Broader fruity facets emerge — bold grape, tutti-frutti, banana, and a soft warmth that reads almost amber-like. The overall effect is sweeter and more complex than C-16, with a considerably bolder presence. In fact, this could well be a contender for unexplored power-notes. In addition to its fruit note, a clear affinity with ionones and methyl ionones is clear. Use Raspberry Glycidate in berry accords, red fruit compositions, and anywhere you need fruity sweetness that endures. It nuances rose, orris, and violet notes with convincing berry realism. At over three hundred hours on blotter, this is one of the most persistent fruity materials available.
