Description

Phenyl Ethyl Cinnamate is a sweet, balsamic and floral aroma chemical with a warm, rich character. Its odor profile combines soft floral nuances with honeyed, balsamic and subtly cinnamon-like facets. It has good substantivity, making it useful for adding warmth and depth to the heart and base of fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Phenyl Ethyl Cinnamate is valued as a floral and balsamic modifier. It can contribute richness to rose, jasmine, oriental, amber and floral compositions while helping create a smooth transition from the heart into the base. Its sweet balsamic character can also support warm, resinous and slightly spicy fragrance structures.

The material is particularly useful when a composition needs a rounded, warm and elegant floral depth. It can be combined with floral alcohols and natural extracts for richer floral effects, or with vanilla, balsamic and woody materials to develop more enveloping oriental-style accords.

Perfumers' Tip

Phenyl Ethyl Cinnamate works especially well for giving floral compositions a warm, sweet and balsamic body. Combine it with Phenethyl Alcohol and rose materials for a richer floral accord, or use it with vanilla, labdanum and sandalwood to build a warm oriental base. Allow the formula to mature before making final adjustments, as its balsamic character becomes more noticeable in the drydown.
