Styrallyl Acetate

About this material

Styrallyl Acetate (or Gardenol) is a green top note with a very distinctive odour that separates it from the rest of the family. Vaguely smelling like facets of Gardenia, but mostly like a very strong fruity green chemical of low tenacity, Styrallyl Acetate is surprisingly easy to blend and works well with Galbanum (and related chemicals like Neobutenone Alpha ) and other fruity top notes like Allyl Amyl Glycolate. In our opinion, no blend yet surpasses the wonderfully creative accord of 2:1 Styrallyl Acetate and Citronella Oil featured as the top note of Ma Griffe by Jean Carles for Carven in 1946. Styrallyl Acetate is an essential material for perfumers. — Fraterworks
