Cinnamyl Nitrile is a synthetic aromatic compound derived from cinnamic acid, featuring a nitrile (-CN) functional group attached to a substituted phenylpropene backbone. C9H7N emits a delicate, soft floral-green note with fresh muguet (lily-of-the-valley) and jasmine nuances, making it a popular component in fine fragrances, personal care products, detergent perfumes. Due to its structural stability and compatibility with a wide range of fragrance ingredients, Cinnamyl Nitrile is valued for adding a clean, elegant diffusion to both feminine and unisex olfactory compositions. Cinnamonitrile is also used in home scenting systems and functional fragrance formats for laundry and air care applications. Also referred to as α-Phenylcinnamyl nitrile and 3-Phenyl-2-propenenitrile by speciality chemical suppliers and manufacturers, it maintains thermal and pH resilience, enabling long-lasting scent retention even in challenging formulations.
