Description

Iso Amyl Acetate, also known as Isopentyl Acetate, is a classic fruity ester best known for its distinctive banana-like and pear-like odor. It has a sweet, juicy and slightly solvent-like character at higher concentrations, while appropriate dilution produces a pleasant fruity effect.

In perfumery, Iso Amyl Acetate is used to create banana, fruity, tropical and candy-like accords. It can provide an immediate burst of fruitiness and is especially useful when developing playful, sweet or tropical fragrance profiles.

Its high volatility makes it primarily a top-note material. It can also be combined with other fruity esters to create more complex and realistic fruit accords.

Perfumers' Tip

Iso Amyl Acetate is excellent for creating a strong, recognizable banana-fruity effect. Use it alongside other fruity esters rather than relying on it alone when a more natural fruit profile is desired. Combining it with Iso Amyl Butyrate, Ethyl Butyrate and sweet materials can create a fuller tropical-fruity accord.
