Description

Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate is a fruity ester with a bright, sweet and juicy character. It has distinctive fruity nuances reminiscent of fresh apple and tropical fruits, making it useful for creating lively and naturalistic fruit effects.

In perfumery, Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate is particularly useful in apple, fruity, tropical and fresh accords. Its high volatility gives a fragrance an immediate burst of fruitiness, making it especially suitable for top-note compositions. It can be blended with other fruity esters to create a fuller and more realistic fruit profile.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate to give a composition a bright, juicy and fresh fruity lift. Combine it with Ethyl 2-Methyl Butyrate and Hexyl Acetate for a fuller apple-fruity accord, or pair it with green materials such as Cis-3-Hexenol for a crisp, freshly picked fruit effect.
