About

A branched long-chain dienol fragrance ingredient with green-floral character. Lower reactivity than the matching aldehyde; still a conservative yellow on thin public data.

Trimethylundecadienol (CAS 24048-14-4) is a long-chain branched unsaturated alcohol used in perfumery. Alcohols are inherently less reactive toward skin proteins than the corresponding aldehydes, so the sensitization profile is generally more favorable. However, the two alkene functionalities introduce oxidative vulnerability — air exposure can generate more reactive hydroperoxide and carbonyl species over time. Public SCCS/CIR cosmetic-specific data for this exact structure is limited; fragrance industry manages it under RIFM/IFRA at standard use levels.
