Ethyl Butyrate

CAS: 105-54-4

Odour (decreasing): Fruity-pineapple, banana, juicy fruit, tutti-frutti, cognac. Powerful.

Found in the odours of several fruits, distinctively pineapple in character, though it is present naturally in the scents of many other fruits too, including grapefruit, mango, strawberry, and orange juice. It is extremely diffusive and very powerful – becoming rather vomit-like when over-dosed – but capable of adding freshness and lift to floral and oriental fragrances.

Uses: This ester has occasionally been used in minute traces in perfume compositions for its warm-fruity effect in Rose and other floral bases. It is also used as a masking agent for industrial fragrances.

For external use only
