Overview of Hexyl Acetate
Hexyl Acetate is a fruity, sweet, and apple-like ester widely used in the fragrance, flavour, and solvent industries. Known for its pleasant green-fruity aroma, this compound is naturally found in apples, pears, and other fruits, but it can also be synthesised for industrial use. Its refreshing scent makes it a key ingredient in perfumes, air fresheners, and food flavourings.
In perfumery, Hexyl Acetate enhances floral and fruity accords, especially in apple, pear, and jasmine compositions. It also provides a natural, uplifting freshness in modern fragrance blends and is commonly used in body sprays and cosmetic formulations.
