Description

Ethyl Aceto Acetate, commonly known as Ethyl Acetyl Acetate, is a versatile organic ingredient used in fragrance formulation for its fresh, fruity and slightly sweet character.

Its odor profile can provide subtle fruity and fresh nuances to fragrance compositions. While it is not generally used as a dominant perfume note, it can be valuable as a supporting ingredient and formulation material in complex fragrance accords.

In perfumery, it can be incorporated into fruity, fresh, citrus, green and gourmand-style compositions, where it helps add brightness and complexity. Its versatile chemical functionality also makes it useful in various industrial and formulation applications beyond perfumery.

Perfumers' Tip

Ethyl Aceto Acetate is best considered a supporting formulation ingredient rather than a dominant fragrance note. Use it carefully alongside fruity esters and citrus materials when you want to add freshness and subtle fruity complexity. In gourmand accords, it can be evaluated with Ethyl Maltol and Vanillin for additional sweetness and depth.
