Ethyl phenoxyacetate

At a glance

A sweet, honeyed ester with a soft, slightly floral-honey character used in honey and sweet floral accords. It is used by perfumers as one of many aroma-chemical building blocks that combine to form a fragrance's overall accord, rather than being worn as a scent on its own.
