Phenyl Ethyl Acetate is an aromatic ester widely used in perfumery, fragrance compounds, cosmetics, soaps, and personal-care products. It has a pleasant sweet, floral, fruity and honey-like aroma, often associated with rose and jasmine nuances. It is especially useful for giving floral compositions a softer, sweeter and more rounded character. Phenyl Ethyl Acetate is particularly useful in fine fragrances and perfume concentrates, including rose, jasmine, lilac, gardenia and other floral accords. It can add sweetness and a fruity-floral lift while helping smooth harsher fragrance notes. It is also suitable as a fragrance ingredient in body sprays, perfume oils, creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, soaps, deodorants, candles and home-fragrance formulations.
