Propyl acetate

At a glance

A fruity, pear-like ester with a light, fresh character used as a bright, fast-evaporating fruity top note. 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.
