CAS: 93-58-3



When it comes to versatility it doesn't get much better than this! Methyl benzoate is essential to recreate tuberose, ylang-ylang (both Cananga and Artabotrys hexapetalus types), wintergreen, root beer and fruit like the intensely flavoured fejioa (of which methyl benzoate can be up to 90% of its odour volatiles!) found all over New Zealand gardens. It has a subtle almond-like or honeyed nuance. Its scent is warm and rich, making it a versatile note that blends well with other ingredients. The powerful phenolic character of this chemical is tempered by the judicious use of lactones. Despite its power, it is rather well behaved when handled right. A must have material — dare I say as essentia… — Fraterworks
