Overview of Butyl Formate

Butyl Formate is a versatile ester aroma chemical widely used in perfumery, flavours, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It is known for its sweet, fruity, and pineapple-like scent, making it a key ingredient in fruity, floral, and tropical fragrance compositions. Butyl Formate is a colourless liquid with a pleasant odour, excellent solubility, and strong diffusion, making it ideal for enhancing the freshness and sweetness of perfumes and flavours.

It blends well with other fragrance ingredients, such as Isoamyl Acetate, Ethyl Butyrate, Methyl Anthranilate, and Allyl Phenethyl Ether, allowing perfumers and flavorists to create complex, fruity, and floral accords. Butyl Formate is also used in home-care products, such as soaps, detergents, and air fresheners, to impart long-lasting fruity notes.
