Description

Ethyl Heptanoate is a fruity ester known for its bright, fresh and naturally fruity character. It offers a combination of apple, pineapple, tropical fruit, green and slightly wine-like facets, making it a useful ingredient for creating fresh and juicy fruit accords.

Its lively fruity profile works particularly well in fruity, tropical, citrus, green and fresh compositions. It can add a sparkling fruit impression to a fragrance and is especially useful when building realistic fruit notes.

Ethyl Heptanoate is also useful as a modifier in complex fruity accords, where its fresh and slightly sharp character can help give the composition more natural fruit lift.

Perfumers' Tip

Ethyl Heptanoate is useful for creating a bright, juicy and realistic fruity effect. Combine it with Ethyl Hexanoate and Ethyl 2-Methylbutyrate for a more complex tropical-fruit accord, or use it with Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate to introduce a fresh green nuance.

For a pineapple or tropical accord, pair it with Ethyl Butyrate, Allyl Hexanoate, citrus oils and fruity lactones. A small amount of Vanillin or Ethyl Maltol can add sweetness and roundness.

Important nomenclature note: Ethyl Heptanoate (CAS 106-30-9) should not be confused with Ethyl Caproate / Ethyl Hexanoate (CAS 539-88-8). They are different esters with different carbon-chain lengths and odor profiles.
