Description

Ethyl Benzoate is an aromatic ester with a soft, sweet and balsamic odor character. Its profile combines fruity and slightly floral nuances with a warm, smooth and mildly medicinal facet. Although it is not usually used as a dominant perfume note, its rounded character can be valuable for adding subtle richness and complexity to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Ethyl Benzoate can be used as a supporting material in floral, fruity, balsamic and oriental accords. It can help soften sharper aromatic ingredients and contribute warmth to the heart and base of a fragrance. It also blends well with benzyl derivatives, floral materials and sweet balsamic ingredients. Its relatively understated odor makes it more suitable as a modifier or supporting ingredient than as the main character of a composition.

Use Ethyl Benzoate as a smooth supporting material when a composition needs warmth and subtle balsamic richness. It pairs particularly well with benzyl and floral materials, while vanilla and resinous notes can help emphasize its warmer facets.
