Description

Ethyl Caprylate is a fruity ester with a sweet, fresh and slightly waxy character. Its odor profile combines juicy citrus and tropical-fruit nuances with a subtle pineapple-like facet. Compared with lighter fruity esters, it can provide a somewhat fuller and rounder fruit impression, making it useful in compositions that require more body.

In perfumery, Ethyl Caprylate is used to develop fruity, citrus, tropical and fresh accords. It can contribute a juicy character to pineapple, orange and other tropical-fruit constructions while blending smoothly with green and floral materials. It is also useful for adding naturalistic fruit complexity to fragrance compositions without introducing an overly heavy base character. Its moderate persistence allows it to contribute beyond the very first impression while still functioning primarily in the top and heart.
