Phenethyl Propionate

About this material

Phenethyl propionate opens with a sweet, floral, and slightly fruity scent reminiscent of fresh roses and ripe strawberries. As it develops, the sweetness remains but becomes more nuanced, revealing a soft, creamy texture that adds a smoothness to the overall profile. In a formula, it acts as a supporting note that enhances floral and fruity accords, providing a gentle lift without overpowering other elements. It pairs well with other florals like jasmine or ylang-ylang, and can also complement citrus notes for a fresh, vibrant effect. Typically, it is used at low doses, usually around 0.030% to 0.05%, often around 0.030%.
