Valeric Acid

关于这种原料

Valeric Acid has a pungent, slightly cheesy odor with a hint of sourness that can be quite off-putting in high concentrations. It opens with a sharp, almost vinegar-like bite that quickly settles into a more rounded, fatty note reminiscent of aged cheese or damp earth. In a formula, it acts as a fixative, helping to anchor lighter notes and adding a subtle complexity to the overall scent profile. It works well in small doses, typically around 0.100%, to enhance the depth of floral and green accords without overwhelming them. Pair it with citrus or herbal notes to balance its intensity and create a more rounded composition.
