CAS: 35154-45-1 Classification: Top Note[i]This material captures the exact sensation of biting into a crisp Granny Smith apple—complete with the mouth-watering juice and complex ripeness. The isovalerate portion provides the secret weapon: a subtle funky, cheese-like undertone that mimics the natural fermentation processes in real fruit ripening.
This sophisticated funkiness prevents fruit accords from smelling flat or synthetic. The slight valerian-like character grounds the bright apple notes, creating three-dimensional realism that tricks the nose into perceiving genuine fruit flesh. You can leverage this complexity to transform basic fruity compositions into convincing, textured experiences.
Use this when you need to move beyond generic fruit notes into photorealistic territory. Its exceptional tenacity carries the juicy character from top notes into the heart, whilst its natural occurrence in black tea and herbs opens doors to sophisticated aromatic compositions. The key is understanding that the slight "off" note isn't a flaw—it's the source of its naturalism.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
