Description

Phenyl Ethyl Salicylate is a sweet, floral and balsamic aroma chemical with a soft, warm character. Its odor profile combines floral, powdery and slightly woody nuances with a smooth balsamic quality. It is a substantive material that can remain noticeable in the drydown, making it useful for adding body and warmth to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Phenyl Ethyl Salicylate is primarily used as a floral modifier and fixative-style base material. It can provide richness and smoothness to floral accords while helping connect heart notes with deeper woody, amber and balsamic materials. Its soft character makes it particularly useful in compositions where a rounded and warm floral effect is desired.

The material can also contribute to the overall persistence and fullness of a fragrance. It works well in floral, oriental, amber and powdery compositions and can be combined with other salicylates to create a smooth, diffusive fragrance foundation.

Perfumers' Tip

Phenyl Ethyl Salicylate is useful for giving floral formulas warmth, softness and lasting body. Combine it with Phenethyl Alcohol and rose materials for a smooth floral accord, or blend it with jasmine, ylang-ylang and other salicylates for a richer, more diffusive floral base. Evaluate it in the drydown, where its substantive character becomes especially useful.
