Description

Hexyl Acetate is a widely used fruity ester with a fresh, juicy and green character. It is particularly appreciated for its crisp apple-like and pear-like nuances, along with subtle tropical and banana-like facets. Its bright volatility makes it excellent for creating an immediate fresh-fruity impression.

In perfumery, Hexyl Acetate is commonly used in apple, pear, green, fruity and fruity-floral accords. It can give fruit compositions a juicy quality while adding freshness and lift to the opening. When combined with green materials, it can create a convincing freshly cut fruit effect.
