MYRCENYL ACETATE – fruity, citrusy, green and woody note with hints of sour apple, green mango and sweet wood

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
A fresh, diffused, sweet, citrusy, and herbaceous aroma with a moderate to weak persistence. A fresh, clean, citrusy, metallic, pear, lavender, and floral complex. An excellent composition for an eau de cologne.
This ester has found some use in perfumery as a modifier of lavender aromas and as a blender for citrus aromas. It creates very interesting effects with styrax-based products, with patchouli and bergamot in an "oriental" interpretation, and is also used in artificial essential oils.
Myrcenylacetate is the main component of a product known as pseudo-linalylacetate (IFF) or "Neobergamot" (Naarden) and other specialty products. These branded ingredients are extremely complex mixtures obtained through a reaction involving myrcene and acetic anhydride. The complex was created long before myrcenylacetate became a commercial product and gained popularity due to its extraordinary persistence, justifying its price, which is even higher than that of linalylacetate. The soap's strength and stability have made "pseudo-linalylacetate" as popular as an essential oil, and it is almost as complex.
Myrcenylacetate, when properly diluted, has a very pleasant pear aroma (and flavor).
