Nympheal is a molecule for creating white floral fragrances, and it can be used to create a lily of the valley accord. Its smell is a diffusive floral cyclamen muguet note with green, watery and linden blossom facets.

Цікавий факт
No natural aromatic extract can be produced from lily of the valley, so its scent must be recreated synthetically. In French the flower is called muguet.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
In a laboratory preparation, 3-(4-isobutyl-2-methylphenyl)propan-1-ol in dichloromethane is reacted with pyridinium chlorochromate. The mixture is filtered over Florisil and silica gel, then evaporated and distilled. This gives 3-(4-isobutyl-2-methylphenyl)propanal in 64% yield as a colourless oil.

У парфумерії
The molecule has a very low odour threshold, so only a little is needed to smell it. It can be used across many consumer segments. Use levels run from traces to 10%. It gives a bloom effect in water applications. It is not a top or heavy base note but plays at both ends of performance, as a very full-bodied molecule. A blend of 70% Nympheal and 30% patchouli oil creates a particular and unexpected effect.
