Acetic Acid
Used in 1 formulas
About this material
Acetic Acid has a sharp, pungent scent that is immediately recognizable, reminiscent of vinegar. It opens with a strong, sour note that can be quite overwhelming, but as it settles, it provides a clean, crisp edge that can enhance other ingredients. In a formula, it acts as a modifier, helping to brighten and sharpen the overall composition, particularly in citrus or fresh accords. It pairs well with fruity notes and can help to accentuate the brightness of floral elements. Use it sparingly, typically around 0.040% to 0.13%, with most applications hovering around 0.080%.
