Perfumers' Tip

Ethyl Caproate is excellent for creating a juicy pineapple and tropical-fruit effect. Combine it with Ethyl Butyrate and Ethyl Octanoate for a fuller tropical accord, or use it with Allyl Caproate for a stronger pineapple character. Citrus materials can add freshness, while lactones can introduce a creamy tropical dimension.
