CAS: 123-86-4

Smells of: fruity, sweet
Role: top note, fruity enhancer

Butyl acetate has a bright, fruity scent reminiscent of ripe bananas and pears, with a slightly sweet and solvent-like edge. It opens with a strong, fresh fruitiness that can quickly dominate a blend, but as it settles, it softens into a more rounded, mellow sweetness. In a formula, it acts as a top note that can enhance fruity and floral accords, adding a juicy quality that makes compositions feel vibrant and lively. It works well with other fruity notes, particularly citrus and berry, and can also help to lighten heavier floral elements. Use it in doses typically around 0.080%, but it can range from 0.020% to 0.93% depending on the desired impact.
