CAS: 4940-11-8 Classification: Base Note[i]Ethyl Maltol was thrust in to the public consciousness with the launch of Thierry Mugler's Angel (1992) by Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin with what would now be considered a rather tame dose of 0.5%.
Now more commonly found in quantities up to and beyond that of Baccarat Rouge 540's generous 2%, this is absolutely a must-have material for modern perfumers.
Pair's beautifully with our Signature Vanillin and Sotolone.

Ethyl Maltol presents an intensely sweet, cotton candy aroma with caramellic undertones, subtle fruity facets, and a warm, confectionery character that's significantly stronger and more persistent than regular maltol.
Enhances fruity and floral notes in fragrances; excellent for adding powerful sweetness to gourmand, oriental, and berry accords.

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.
