Methyl acetophenone is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume or soap.

Use

Methyl acetophenone has a strong odor, however, only when diluted or used does it become clear which one. It is used in fresh spicy blossom scents such as hawthorn, lilac, mimosa and acacia. In addition, as a fresh, slightly floral accent in leathery scents. It can also be used in many fragrances for a fresh spicy accent. It is a top to heart note in perfumes.

Because the smell is strong and you often want to be able to use a small amount, a dilution of 10-25% is handy to have. It mixes well with dipropylene glycol. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

Properties

Methyl acetophenone is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. The substance has a fairly long shelf life, the purity is at least 96%. The manufacturer is usually Symrise, but if temporarily unavailable, we buy it elsewhere. The substance is synthetic, but occurs in nature in small quantities.

We use the name methyl acetophenone, better is the name 4-methyl acetophenone or para acetophenone. Because perfumers usually omit this prefix, we do the same.
