p-Cresyl Acetate

p-Cresyl Acetate otherwise known as Para-Cresyl Acetate has a distinctive and pleasant odour that can be described as:

• Sweet – rich, pleasant, and comforting.

• Floral – resembling Hyacinth or Jasmine.

• Fruity – reminiscent of pears or apples, with hints of banana and cherry-like notes.

• Phenolic – a subtle, medicinal or slightly smoky undertone due to the cresol base.

Overall, the smell is fruity and ester-like with a mild chemical sharpness from the aromatic ring.

It’s often used in fragrance formulations perfumes, colognes, and personal care products (like soaps, lotions, and shampoos) to impart a soft, sweet, fruity-floral nuance and blends well with Linalool and Dimethyl Benzyl Carbinol

It also serves as an intermediate or building block in the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules.
