Uses in perfumery :
Benzyl Benzoate is usually used for diluting raw materials as resinoids or Galaxolide®, to reduce its vicosity for use. It is also used in compositions as a fixative and a heavy floral notes modifier, in jasmine and other white flowers accords.
Natural availability :
Benzyl Benzoate is the major component of Peru Balsam Resinoid. It is also found in Tuberose Absolute, Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute, Narcissus Absolute, Frangipani Absolute…
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
As many so-called 'benzylic' compounds, Benzyl Benzoate is reminiscent of jasmine and is used for this type of note. With a similar goal, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl acetate and Benzyl Cinnamate can be used.
Benzyl Benzoate is part of the 26 allergens used in perfumery.
