  • Applications

    Acetyl Caryophyllene is commonly considered a fragrance-related compound with odor-active properties. In perfumery and cosmetics/personal care, it can function as a scent component and/or fixative to help impart and stabilize woody-spicy notes. It may also be used in household and cleaning products as an odorant to contribute pleasant aromas. In industrial manufacturing, coatings and inks, along with polymer/plastic formulations, it can serve as a fragrance additive or aroma-releasing agent. It can also act as an intermediate in aroma-chemical synthesis for specialty formulations. In flavor applications, it may be used as an aroma component where permitted, with usage governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
