    “Smells almost like juicy fruit gum.”

    Aroma Chemicals

    CAS: 105-54-4
    Synonyms: Ethyl Butanoate Classification: Top Note[i]

    Ethyl butyrate is the intensely sweet scent of overripe bananas and pineapple. Absolutely essential for any fruit accords, this material is also an excellent top note when you are looking for something a little more interesting that the standard allyl amyl glycolate sparkle.

    The butyrate differs from the acetate in having a slightly sour butter quality which is particularly naturalising and indispensable in a complex gourmand.

    INCI Name
    ETHYL BUTYRATE
    Odour Profile

    Ethyl Butyrate delivers a powerful, ethereal, and diffusive fruity signature combining intense pineapple-banana character with juicy tutti-frutti sweetness, subtle apple-pear nuances, and a slight sour-buttery undertone that provides critical naturalistic "ripening" effects to fruit accords.

    Uses

    Essential top note modifier for fruit accords, diffusive lift enhancement, and naturalizing ripeness effects across diverse fragrance families.

    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.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%
    IFRA 49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.
