Methyl Cinnamate (CAS# 103-26-4) is an aromatic ester with a sweet, refined cinnamon note that is slightly spicy and warm, accented by subtle fruity facets and a light floral nuance. Its characteristic scent combines the cozy comfort of cinnamon spice with a soft balsamic smoothness, helping to round out and deepen the olfactory profile of many different fragrance types. At low dosages, it creates a gentle “glow” effect, enhancing white florals, rose notes, and red-fruit accords such as strawberry and raspberry.

In perfumery, Methyl Cinnamate is particularly effective in oriental, spicy, balsamic, and gourmand compositions, as well as in fruity-floral concepts that require a warm, sweet accent. It blends very well with vanillin, ethyl maltol, cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, ionone derivatives, ylang, jasmine, and many warm woody notes, adding depth and a lingering, enveloping character to the formula. Thanks to its good substantivity, Methyl Cinnamate typically performs in the heart-to-base of the fragrance, contributing to long-lasting warmth and sweetness on skin.

Beyond fine fragrance, Methyl Cinnamate can also be used in scented personal care products, home fragrancing, and certain technical fragrance applications where a sweet, warm, rounded cinnamon note is desired. It is a versatile material for perfumers seeking to introduce a spicy warmth that is expressive yet not harsh, bringing elegance, harmony, and a polished finish to the overall scent.
