When it comes to versatility it doesn't get much better than this! Methyl benzoate is essential to recreate tuberose, ylang-ylang (both Cananga and Artabotrys hexapetalus types), wintergreen, root beer and fruit like the intensely flavoured fejioa (of which methyl benzoate can be up to 90% of its odour volatiles!) found all over New Zealand gardens. It has a subtle almond-like or honeyed nuance. Its scent is warm and rich, making it a versatile note that blends well with other ingredients.
The powerful phenolic character of this chemical is tempered by the judicious use of lactones. Despite its power, it is rather well behaved when handled right. A must have material — dare I say as essential as benzyl acetate!
Methyl Benzoate shows balanced behaviour with moderate strength (7/10) and proportional impact in blends (7/10). Versatile and predictable to work with.

Methyl benzoate has a powerful floral scent with sharp phenolic qualities and sweet fruity undertones, reminiscent of ylang-ylang, tuberose, and cherry.
Enhances floral compositions by adding radiance and sweetness to jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang 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.
