Overview of Menthyl Acetate

Menthyl Acetate is an aromatic ester known for its smooth, minty, cooling, and slightly fruity character with soft, creamy undertones. Naturally found in peppermint oil, it plays an important role in mint-style fragrance compositions by adding roundness and a long-lasting cooling effect. Its refined aroma makes it suitable for both premium fragrances and everyday consumer products.

Menthyl Acetate blends seamlessly with Menthol, Spearmint Oil, Peppermint Oil, Eucalyptol, Vanilla lactones, and citrus aldehydes, making it a valuable component in fresh, clean, and mint-forward formulations.
