Description

Eugenyl Acetate is an aromatic ester with a warm, spicy and clove-like character. Compared with Eugenol, its odor is generally smoother and less sharp, offering sweet-spicy, woody and slightly floral nuances with a soft balsamic quality. Its substantive character allows it to contribute warmth and depth to the heart and base of a fragrance.

In perfumery, Eugenyl Acetate is useful for creating spicy-floral, carnation, clove, woody and oriental accords. It can provide a rounded interpretation of clove-like warmth while blending smoothly with floral and balsamic materials. It is particularly useful when a composition needs spicy richness without making the accord excessively sharp or phenolic. It can also help add body to floral compositions and create a warm transition toward woody and resinous base notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Eugenyl Acetate when you want a smooth, rounded clove effect rather than the sharper character of Eugenol. Combine it with Eugenol for greater definition, or pair it with floral, vanilla and woody materials to create a warm and sophisticated spicy heart.
