AMYL SALICYLATE – floral, green and sweet note with hints of jasmine, tea and green leaves

A balsamic floral scent with hints of carnation. Amyl salicylate has a sweet, floral, herbaceous, and balsamic character with a green undertone. It is widely used in floral compositions and can be an important ingredient in fougère accords. Perhaps less well-known than benzyl salicylate, but arguably even more versatile, it can be used in most fragrances as a binder, as well as for its distinctive character. It works in everything from fougère to floral and chocolatey accords. It has a sweet, herbaceous, and green, slightly floral scent. Very persistent, with woody and earthy, sweet, and dry notes. The refined qualities of this ester can make a noticeable difference in the scent, especially those richer in sweetness and floral tones. It is widely used in floral and non-floral perfumes: most often in carnation, hyacinth, orchid, and clover fragrances, and almost inevitably in fougère accords. Very persistent, with woody, earthy, and sweet, dry notes.
