Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
An aromatic nitrile fragrance compound — floral/musky character, used at low percentages.
Gamma-methylbenzenehexanenitrile is a synthetic aromatic-chain nitrile used as a fragrance ingredient for floral/musky notes. Nitrile-based fragrance materials are a niche but established class in perfumery, used at fractional percentages under IFRA/RIFM guidance. Independent public toxicology data for this specific compound are limited, but no specific hazard signal is in evidence; standard fragrance-allergen caveats apply and use should follow IFRA category limits.
