  • Applications

    Phenethyl 2-furoate is the ester of phenethyl alcohol and 2-furoic acid. In industry, it is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it serves as a note in fine fragrances and in personal care products. It is also used as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care formulations, contributing to scent profiles in soaps, lotions, and bath products. In household products, it can function as a fragrance additive for cleaners and air fresheners. It may be used as an intermediate in industrial manufacturing for the synthesis of other aroma compounds and as a potential flavor/aroma ingredient in flavor and fragrance formulations. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
