Description

Methyl Phenyl Acetate is a highly characterful aroma chemical with an intense sweet, honey-like and floral odor, accompanied by jasmine, spicy and slightly waxy nuances. It is particularly recognizable for its honey facet and can contribute a rich nectar-like quality to fragrance compositions. It is also found naturally in materials such as honey, coffee, cocoa, strawberry and certain fruits.

In perfumery, Methyl Phenyl Acetate is especially valuable for creating honey, jasmine, rose and oriental accords. Its strong projection allows it to act as a powerful character material, adding warmth and sweetness while giving floral compositions greater richness. It can also be used to introduce a distinctive honeyed accent into fruity, floral and exotic structures.

Perfumers' Tip

Methyl Phenyl Acetate is a powerful honey-floral material, so start with a very small amount when evaluating it. Combine it with jasmine or rose materials for a richer floral effect, or use it with balsamic and vanilla notes to build a warm honeyed oriental accord. Its strong character can quickly dominate a formula, making careful dosage important.
