CAS: 103-45-7

Smells of: sweet floral
Role: fruity-floral top note

Phenethyl acetate opens with a bright, sweet floral note reminiscent of fresh roses and ripe strawberries, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. As it develops, the sweetness softens slightly, revealing a subtle green, slightly fruity undertone that adds complexity without overwhelming the composition. This ester is particularly effective at enhancing floral and fruity accords, providing a juicy, uplifting quality that can elevate the overall character of a fragrance. It works well in both floral bouquets and fruity blends, and can be paired with materials like linalool or ethyl maltol to create a more rounded, sweet profile. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.054% to 0.84%, with a common concentration around 0.160%.
