Description

Ethyl Amyl Ketone is a volatile ketone with a fresh, fruity and slightly green odor character. Its profile can show sweet, banana-like and fruity nuances with a mild solvent-like facet. Because of its volatility, it is most useful for creating an immediate fresh effect rather than providing substantial depth or persistence.

In perfumery, Ethyl Amyl Ketone can be used as a supporting ingredient in fruity, fresh and green compositions. It can help brighten the opening of a fragrance and contribute a subtle fruity lift when blended with citrus, green and floral materials. Its relatively simple odor profile means it is generally more valuable as a modifier in a carefully constructed accord than as a dominant fragrance ingredient.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Ethyl Amyl Ketone sparingly when you need a quick fruity-green lift in the opening. Pair it with green materials for freshness or fruity esters for a fuller fruit accord, and evaluate it in dilution because its neat odor can appear more solvent-like.
