  • Applications

    Primarily a fragrance ingredient, valeric acid, 2-propyl-, carvacryl ester is used in perfumery as an odorant and, owing to its ester linkage, can function as a low-to-moderate fixative to help extend fragrance longevity. It is commonly incorporated into cosmetics and personal care formulations to contribute oregano-like, spicy notes, and it is also employed in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners as a fragrance additive. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as an intermediate in fragrance ingredient synthesis and formulation development for specialty scents.
