Benzyl Salicylate is the ester of benzyl alcohol and salicylic acid-an understated pillar in floral perfumery with warm, lightly sweet, balsamic elegance. At moderate levels, it adds a silky, creamy veil without overwhelming, bringing polish and quiet sophistication to the composition.

Olfactively, Benzyl Salicylate suggests white-floral facets (evoking jasmine/muguet), a soft powdery touch, and gentle woody warmth. It boosts diffusion in floral–amber–musk themes, softens green/spicy edges, and acts as a “bridge” between heart and base notes for a rounder, longer-lasting scent.

Functionally, it serves as an effective fixative and odorant/solvent, enhancing longevity and substrate adherence from fine fragrance to home care. Its UV absorption around ~300 nm can also support color and odor stability in suitable formulas.

Applications span fine fragrance, fabric/room sprays, candles, reeds/gels, soaps, body care, and hair care. Benzyl Salicylate enables modern floral-amber structures, clean warm musks, and “solar/powdery” effects with smooth, controllable impact.

Physical properties: a clear to pale-yellow viscous liquid that may crystallize slightly around 20–25 °C-gentle warming returns it to a uniform liquid. Sparingly soluble in water; freely soluble in alcohols and perfume oils. Clean, stable scent profile; store tightly closed, away from heat and direct light.

Safety & compliance: Benzyl Salicylate is a listed fragrance allergen that requires labeling in certain markets. Please formulate to current IFRA standards and local labeling rules, and conduct pilot tests before scale-up. For industrial/INGREDIENT use only.

At SCENT, Benzyl Salicylate is supplied with complete technical documents. We maintain reliable availability for both creative trials and production volumes, and our technical team can advise on compatibility, performance, and optimization across product formats.
