Description

Iso Amyl Salicylate is a salicylate ester with a sweet, warm and soft floral character. It has mild balsamic, fruity and slightly green nuances, giving fragrance compositions a smooth and rounded quality.

In perfumery, Iso Amyl Salicylate is useful as a floral blending and supporting material. It can add body and substantivity to floral compositions while helping create a smooth transition into the base. Its soft character makes it particularly useful in floral, green, balsamic and warm compositions.

It can also help soften sharper floral or green materials and provide a subtle long-lasting background to the fragrance.
