  • Applications

    2-Methoxyphenethyl acetate (CAS 22532-50-9) is an aromatic ester used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in fine fragrances, cosmetics, personal care, soaps, detergents, candles, and air-care products, imparting sweet warm floral, anisic–balsamic and vanilla-like nuances; it serves as a modifier, rounder and mild fixative in rose, jasmine, violet and ylang-ylang accords as well as fruity and gourmand themes, and it can also function as an intermediate in organic synthesis for related aromatic derivatives, a reference standard in analytical work, and a formulation component for household fragrances; use is subject to safety assessment and local regulations for each application, including potential trace flavor use where permitted.
