Description :
Amyl Salicylate (molecular formula C12H14O3) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid known for its sweet, floral, and slightly balsamic aroma. Widely used in the flavor and fragrance industry, it adds a smooth, warm, and long-lasting scent to perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, and personal care products. It is insoluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether, making it suitable for perfume formulations, aroma chemical synthesis, and cosmetic applications. Amyl Salicylate is often combined with related aroma chemicals like Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde and Geranyl Caproate to create balanced, long-lasting fragrance compositions.
Provides a sweet, floral, and balsamic note in perfumes, colognes, and body sprays. Often blended with Anisyl Acetate and Cyclohexyl Salicylate to enhance fragrance complexity and stability.
Used in lotions, creams, deodorants, and soaps to impart a warm and long-lasting aroma, improving the overall sensory experience of products.
In highly controlled concentrations, it is employed as a flavoring agent to provide fruity and floral notes in beverages and confections.
Acts as an intermediate in aroma chemical synthesis and is applied in R&D labs for formulating complex fragrance blends alongside Geranyl Caproate or Muskolide.
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sunlight and oxidizing agents.
Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling.
Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of vapors.
