Description

Ethyl Vanillin is a highly powerful vanilla aroma chemical with a rich, sweet and creamy character. Its odor profile is strongly gourmand, combining deep vanilla sweetness with caramel-like, creamy and slightly balsamic nuances. It provides a fuller and more intense vanilla effect than many softer vanilla materials, making it particularly valuable when a fragrance requires a pronounced sweet character.

In perfumery, Ethyl Vanillin is widely used in vanilla, gourmand, oriental, amber and sweet floral accords. It can provide warmth and body to a fragrance while enhancing the sweetness of fruity, creamy and balsamic materials. It is especially effective when combined with lactones, caramel notes, tonka materials and musks. Because of its high odor impact, it is normally introduced carefully into a formula and is often evaluated as a diluted solution.

Perfumers' Tip
