  • Applications

    Ethyl cyclohexylacetate is primarily used as an odorant in perfumery, serving as an aroma ingredient with floral/green notes; it is also employed in cosmetics and personal care formulations as a fragrance component and solvent. In household products such as air fresheners and cleaners, it provides a light fragrance and can act as a fragrance solvent. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as an intermediate or processing aid for fragrance compounds and can be used as a solvent in coatings and inks; the cyclohexyl moiety can contribute to lower volatility and, within fragrance blends, some fixative characteristics.
