Description

Cyclohexyl Crotonate is a fruity aroma chemical with a distinctive combination of sweet, green, floral and woody nuances. Its character can suggest ripe fruit with a slightly deep, syrupy quality, while its green and woody facets add complexity and structure. This makes it useful for creating richer fruity effects than simple, bright fruit esters.

In perfumery, Cyclohexyl Crotonate can be used to develop fruity, green, floral and woody accords. It is particularly interesting in compositions requiring a deeper fruit character, where its sweet and slightly ambery facets can add body and warmth. It can also be used to introduce contrast into floral compositions or to give woody and amber structures a subtle fruity lift. Its distinctive profile means that careful blending is useful when balancing it with cleaner or lighter materials.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Cyclohexyl Crotonate when a fruity accord needs more depth and a slightly darker, richer character. Start at low levels and combine it with green materials for freshness or woody and amber materials for a deeper, more sophisticated fruity effect.
