Description

Hexyl Salicylate is a versatile salicylate aroma chemical with a soft, fresh, floral and slightly green character. It has a smooth, subtle odor profile that can provide body and fullness to fragrance compositions without overpowering other ingredients.

In perfumery, Hexyl Salicylate is widely used in floral, green, fresh, woody and tropical compositions. Its excellent substantivity makes it particularly useful for supporting the longevity of fragrance accords. It can also act as a blending material, helping connect brighter top notes with floral heart and woody base materials.

Hexyl Salicylate is especially useful in jasmine, muguet, rose, green and fresh floral accords, where it contributes softness and a naturalistic floral character.
