Description

Phenylethyl Acetate is a versatile fruity-floral ester known for its sweet, soft and pleasant character. It combines delicate rose-like floral nuances with fruity, honeyed and slightly pear-like facets, creating a smooth and natural impression. The material is closely related olfactively to Phenethyl Alcohol but provides a lighter, fruitier and more ester-like character.

In perfumery, Phenylethyl Acetate is mainly used to add fruity brightness and floral sweetness to compositions. It is particularly valuable in rose, floral, fruity-floral and fresh fragrances, where it can help make the floral heart feel more juicy and rounded. It can also be useful in natural-style rose accords where a soft fruity dimension is required.

The material blends easily with floral alcohols, citrus ingredients and fruity esters. It can help bridge bright top notes with floral heart materials, giving the fragrance a smooth transition and a more rounded overall profile.

Perfumers' Tip

Phenylethyl Acetate is excellent for adding a juicy fruity softness to rose and floral accords. Combine it with Phenethyl Alcohol, Geraniol and Citronellol for a fuller rose effect, or pair it with pear and fruity esters for a fresh, sweet fruity-floral direction. Start at a moderate level and adjust after evaluating the complete accord.
