Caution!

Before purchasing, please read all the information below and the general product information.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids or other internal use.
Intended to be mixed with other fragrances: on its own, the scent can be dull or even unpleasant.
Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.

Use

Ethyl vanillin has a sweet vanilla scent. The scent is quite strong and ethyl vanillin is a solid, so making a dilution is practical. With DPG and alcohol 96% a 25% solution is quite feasible, in IPM it dissolves much less well. Typical use is in vanilla accords and ambers. You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with flowers, but also with wood and many fruits. It adds a spicy warmth to the fragrance. In perfumes it is mainly a base note. Fairly stable in terms of scent in many products, but there is a high risk of discolouration. Yet it is still used in soap because it discolours much less easily than vanillin. Compared to vanillin, it is about five times as sweet and intense.

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