Ethyl Maltol
Used in 229 formulas
About this material
Ethyl Maltol was thrust in to the public consciousness with the launch of Thierry Mugler's Angel (1992) by Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin with what would now be considered a rather tame dose of 0.5%. Now more commonly found in quantities up to and beyond that of Baccarat Rouge 540's generous 2%, this is absolutely a must-have material for modern perfumers. Pair's beautifully with our Signature Vanillin and Sotolone . — Fraterworks
