Description

Ethyl Butyrate is a highly recognizable fruity ester with a bright, sweet and juicy odor profile. It is strongly associated with pineapple and tropical fruit, while also showing subtle citrus and fruity nuances. Its lively character makes it particularly useful for creating an immediate burst of freshness and fruitiness in fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Ethyl Butyrate is mainly used to build fruity, tropical, pineapple and fresh accords. It can be combined with other esters to create more complex fruit profiles or blended with citrus and green materials to make the accord feel brighter and more natural. Because of its relatively high volatility, it contributes mainly to the opening of a fragrance rather than its long-lasting drydown. It is also useful in soaps, body-care fragrances and other applications where a clear fruity character is desired.
