Description

PEPA, commonly known as Phenyl Ethyl Phenyl Acetate, is a rich and elegant floral aroma chemical valued for its soft, sweet and slightly balsamic character. It combines rosy, floral, honeyed, fruity and warm woody facets, making it useful for adding body and sophistication to floral compositions.

Its smooth character complements rose and other floral materials, while its balsamic sweetness helps give a fragrance greater richness and depth. It can also contribute a subtle honey-like quality to floral accords.

In perfumery, PEPA is particularly useful in rose, floral, honey, balsamic, fruity-floral and oriental compositions. It works well as a supporting material in both classic and modern fragrances.

Perfumers' Tip

PEPA is particularly useful for adding softness, richness and a honeyed floral character to rose compositions. Combine it with Phenethyl Alcohol, Geraniol and Citronellol for a rounded rose accord, or use it with Hedione and Jasmine materials for greater floral volume. Benzoin and Vanillin can enhance its warm sweetness, while Sandalwood and white musks create a smooth, elegant base.
