Phenethyl Acetate carries a classic floral–fruity profile: ripe rose wrapped in a light honeyed sweetness with hints of pear and peach-smooth, natural, and softly diffusive. Naturally occurring in many flowers, it lends a “soft-focus” effect, rounding sharp edges and polishing floral and fruit accords.

In formulas, Phenethyl Acetate bridges floral notes (rose, geranium, ylang-ylang, jasmine) with fruity facets (peach, pear, apricot), boosting mid-note diffusion and extending a clean, gentle sweetness. It pairs beautifully with Phenethyl Alcohol to reinforce a natural rose character; harmonizes with violet-ionone shades and damascones for ripe fruit depth; and helps tame aldehydes, citrus, and green structures.

Versatile across fine fragrance, body and hair mists, and home scents, it adds a refined “honeyed” nuance to tea accords (peach tea, rose tea, fruit preserves). In citrus bases, small amounts reduce harshness and increase juiciness; in fougère or chypre, it contributes a clean fruity lift without disturbing mossy–herbal bones.

Suggested use: 0.2–2% as a softener and naturalizer; up to 3–5% in floral-fruity or tea accords where a riper fruit effect is desired. Useful companions include rose absolute/rose oxide/geranium, Hedione, Linalool/Linalyl Acetate, ionones, damascones, benzyl acetate, and cis-3-hexenyl acetate; for gourmand nuances, touch with vanillin or ethyl maltol at very low levels to maintain freshness. Typical properties: colorless liquid, moderate volatility, good solubility in ethanol and common perfume solvents; in high-alkali bases (e.g., cold-process soap), validate performance on a per-batch basis.

At SCENT, each lot of Phenethyl Acetate comes with complete technical documentation and flexible pack sizes-from sampling to production-so you can scale stable, naturally expressive formulas with confidence.
