Use

Ethyl butyrate has a fruity scent reminiscent of pineapple and candies. The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is usual. Characteristic use is in fruit accords, not only of pineapple, but also of, for example, apple, cherry, strawberry, apricot, peach... . You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It adds a warm fruitiness to the fragrance. In perfumes it is mainly a top note, it is stable in most pH neutral products.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of the reach of children.
