Overview of Amyl Salicylate

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.
