Description

Ethyl Cinnamate is a warm, sweet and balsamic aroma chemical with a characteristic cinnamic character. Its odor profile combines soft cinnamon-like, honeyed and balsamic nuances with subtle floral and powdery facets. It has a relatively substantive character, allowing it to provide warmth and richness to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Ethyl Cinnamate is useful for developing spicy, balsamic, oriental, floral and gourmand-style accords. It can add warmth to cinnamon and spice constructions while supporting sweet floral and resinous compositions. Its rich character also makes it useful for giving body to the heart and base of a fragrance. When combined with vanilla, benzoin and woody materials, it can contribute to a smooth, warm and rounded drydown.
