About this material
Ethyl Caprylate opens with a bright, fruity sweetness reminiscent of ripe apples and tropical fruits, giving an immediate sense of freshness. As it develops, it maintains its fruity character but adds a subtle creaminess that rounds out the sharp edges, making it smooth and inviting. In a formula, it acts as a top note that enhances the overall fruitiness and can help to bridge gaps between other notes, particularly in fruity and floral compositions. It pairs well with other esters and citrus notes, providing a lively and uplifting quality. The typical usage in this catalogue is between 0.392% and 1.29%, with a common dose around 0.840%.
