About this material
Hexyl 2-Methyl Butyrate opens with a bright, fruity character reminiscent of ripe apples and juicy pears, providing an immediate sense of freshness. As it develops, the scent maintains its fruity sweetness while introducing a subtle green nuance that adds complexity without overwhelming the composition. This ester is effective in enhancing the fruity top notes of a formula, making it particularly useful in fruity and floral blends. It pairs well with other fruity notes like ethyl butyrate or with floral notes such as jasmine, helping to create a vibrant and uplifting profile. Typically, it is used at a dose of around 0.230%, making it a reliable choice for adding a fresh, fruity lift.
