What Is Aldehydic?

A distinctly sparkling, almost soapy sharpness — the effect that gave Chanel No. 5 its shimmer. A small, singular family, but instantly recognizable once you know it.

Aldehydic Perfumes to Explore

Our picks first, then the most aldehydic scents in our catalogue.

Chanel

N°5 Eau de Parfum

Aldehydes and neroli opening onto a rose-jasmine heart, resting on sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver — the fragrance that defined the whole aldehydic family.

Lanvin

Arpège

Aldehydes and peach over a dense floral heart of jasmine, rose, and iris, settling into sandalwood, amber, and musk.

Chanel

Allure Homme Sport

Mandarin and marine notes brightened with aldehydes and neroli, fading into cedar, tonka bean, and white musk.

Estée Lauder

Youth-Dew

Spice and aldehydes over bergamot and clove, deepening into a heavy amber-patchouli-oakmoss base — a 1953 original still setting the template for spicy-aldehydic scents.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

724

Aldehydes and bergamot over white flowers and jasmine, resting on white musk and sandalwood — a modern, softer take on the classic aldehydic structure.
