Phenethyl butyrate

At a glance

A fruity-rosy ester with a soft, rounded character used to bridge rose notes into fruitier compositions. 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.
