  • Applications

    Phenethyl nonanoate (CAS 57943-67-6) is an aroma ester used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery, providing floral, warm notes and often serving as a fixative to improve scent longevity in complex formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as a fragrance additive in products such as lotions, cleansers, and shampoos. It is also used in household products like detergents and air fresheners to impart a pleasant fragrance. It may be evaluated for use as an aroma compound in flavor formulations, depending on regulatory and formulation limits.
