Cyclamen aldehyde
Cyclamen aldehyde is a fragrance molecule which has been used in soaps, detergents, lotions, and perfumes since the 1920s.[1] It was granted generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status by Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) in 1965 and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for food use in the United States. The Council of Europe (1970) included cyclamen aldehyde in the list of admissible artificial flavoring substances, at a level of 1 ppm.

Synthesis
Cyclamen aldehyde is not naturally occurring and is prepared by the crossed-aldol condensation of cuminaldehyde and propionaldehyde followed by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst.[2]
gollark: Consider:- disassembling other humans into nutrients you need, as they're nearby and contain exactly the right nutrients to live- forcefeeding to the point of obesity or something- making plants/other animals unable to grow due to removing all their nutrients
gollark: Them going rogue isn't the problem. Them working exactly as designed is.
gollark: I can't see ANY way of that going wrong!
gollark: Only a fraction go on to be sold on the open market.
gollark: Many of them are used for internal purposes.
