Description

Butyl Butyryl Lactate is a distinctive creamy and buttery aroma chemical with a rich dairy-like character. Its odor profile combines butter, cream, milk, buttermilk and slightly cheesy facets, with subtle fruity and waxy nuances.

In perfumery, Butyl Butyryl Lactate is useful as a creamy and dairy modifier, particularly when a fragrance needs softness, richness and a realistic buttery effect. It can bring a smooth, rounded quality to gourmand and creamy compositions.

The material is especially useful in gourmand, milky, creamy, fruity and tropical accords. Its subtle fruity character also allows it to connect dairy-like notes with fruit materials, helping create more natural and complex compositions.

Perfumers' Tip

Butyl Butyryl Lactate is excellent for creating a creamy, buttery and realistic dairy effect. Combine it with lactones to increase creaminess, or pair it with Acetoin for a stronger buttery character. Vanillin and Ethyl Maltol can transform the profile into a sweeter gourmand direction, while fruity esters can create creamy fruit and tropical accords.
