Expert Verdict
Schiff base hydrolysis releases dodecanal and methyl anthranilate; sensitization potential comparable to other Schiff bases; must comply with IFRA concentration limits. Long-chain aliphatic Schiff base; provides waxy-floral, orange blossom-type notes; larger alkyl chain (C12) gives more substantivity and slower release of fragrance
