α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (hexyl cinnamal) is a common additive in the perfume and cosmetic industry as aroma substance. It is found naturally in the essential oil of chamomile. It is a pale yellow to yellow liquid to solid, which is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in oils. The commercial material often contains low levels of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol as a stabilizer. It is a derivative of cinnamaldehyde with a hexyl substituent.

One supplier reported that its hexyl cinnamaldehyde (or "hexyl cinnamic aldehyde") contained at least 90% trans isomer.{{cite web |title=Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde |url=http://www.iff.com/Ingredients.nsf/0/8A7C28F4050F32428025699300390223 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100513221012/http://www.iff.com/Ingredients.nsf/0/8A7C28F4050F32428025699300390223 |archive-date=2010-05-13 |publisher=International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. |date=2010}}
