Description

Decyl Acetate is a fruity aroma chemical with a fresh, sweet and distinctly citrus-fruity character. Its odor profile is often associated with juicy fruit, orange-like citrus, pear and apple nuances, accompanied by a soft waxy quality. This makes it useful for creating rounded and natural-looking fruity effects in fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Decyl Acetate is mainly used to enhance fruity and citrus accords while adding smoothness and body to the composition. It can be particularly useful in fresh fruit, citrus, tropical and clean fragrance structures. Its soft character allows it to blend easily with brighter citrus materials, green notes and floral ingredients, helping create a fuller and more natural fruity impression. It can also be used in functional fragrances where a fresh, pleasant fruity character is desired.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Decyl Acetate to give fruity compositions a smooth, juicy and rounded character. It blends especially well with other fruity esters for complex fruit accords, while small amounts of green or citrus materials can add freshness and prevent the accord from becoming overly sweet.
