Phenyl Ethyl Acetate is a soft, elegant floral ester with a delicate rosy-honey aroma and light fruity sweetness. Compared to Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, this acetate ester is smoother, fruitier, and more diffusive, making it perfect for modern rose accords, powdery floral hearts, and romantic everyday perfumes. It adds subtle juiciness and floral freshness without being overpowering—often used to bridge the gap between fruity top notes and floral hearts.

It’s a staple in fine perfumery for creating fresh florals, cosmetics-inspired scents, and floral-tea blends.
