Hydroxycitronellal was first synthesised in 1905 by Knoll and Co. At the same time, Chuit Naef & Cie (founded in 1895 and now known as DSM-Firmenich) produced the finest quality of the chemical, called it Cyclosia® and used it to branch out into the aroma chemicals industry (it had previously dealt only in naturals). Cyclosia® is so vastly superior to all other versions of hydroxycitronellal that nearly 120 years later it remains a staple product of the company and the most sought-after white floral / lily of the valley chemical for the finest fragrances in the industry.
Cyclosia® has a radiance and diffusion that sets is apart from generic hydroxycitronellal. This makes it a desperately needed material today as it remains one of the few refined lily of the valley aldehydes that can be used in fairly generous amounts (up to 2.1% of the finished perfume) whilst retaining IFRA 51 compliance.
Discovered around the same time as the other famed floral chemical Iralia®, Cyclosia® formed a substantial part of the midcentury masterpiece Muguet des Bois, the lily of the valley perfume and then base created by Henri Robert for Coty and later used as the foundation of Diorissimo by Edmund Roudnitska for Dior.

“[Hydroxycitronellal is] sweet-floral, at first delicate and refreshingly mild, but often increasing in odor strength after short olfactory study. The floral notes are mild, light and resemble Lily of the Valley. The tenacity is good, and the odor diffusion increases significantly when the material is properly blended with lower boiling odorants or modifiers.
It is one of the most frequently used floralizing perfume materials. Originally introduced as a 'Muguet' material, it finds its way into almost every type of floral fragrance, and a great many nonfloral ones. Its concentration in perfumes may vary from about 1% (which rarely gives effect unless supported by parallel materials) up to 30 or 40% in straight floral types. It is almost a 'must' in Muguet (at certain price levels) and Peony, Lily, Sweet Pea, Narcisse, Lindenblossom, etc. and it had a monopoly on these types for more than 40 years during which period not one material appeared that could truly replace Hydroxycitronellal.”
