Base
Uses in perfumery :
Phenyl Ethyl Phenyl acetate is used in all types of perfumery for rosy or white floral notes. Allows to bring tenacity and a natural effect to the note.
Natural availability :
Phenyl Ethyl Phenyl acetate is present in Champaca Absolute and can be extracted in its natural state but at a very high cost. Therefore, Phenyl Ethyl Phenyl acetate is greatly produced by organic synthesis.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
