Phenethyl Benzoate

About this material

Phenethyl benzoate opens with a sweet, floral character reminiscent of fresh roses, combined with a subtle fruity nuance that adds a touch of brightness. As it develops, the scent becomes richer, with a warm, slightly balsamic undertone that enhances its overall depth. In a formula, it acts as a softening agent, providing a smooth transition between sharper notes and creating a more rounded composition. It works well with other florals, particularly rose and jasmine, and can also complement fruity notes like peach or raspberry. The typical dose in this catalogue ranges from 0.235% to 1.32%, with an average around 0.777%.
