Use

Benzyl propionate has a fruity floral scent reminiscent of jasmine, tuberose, melon and banana. The fragrance is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in floral accords, especially jasmine. You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with some sweeter amber scents, but also goes well with some greener fruit scents. In perfumes it is mainly a top note, it is stable in most products, including soap.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place and out of the reach of children.
