Other names :
Hexyl 2-hydroxybenzoate ; Hexyl ortho-hydroxybenzoate ; Hexylsalicylate ; Rhodiaflor SnH
Volatility :
Base
Uses in perfumery :
Hexyl Salicylate is used in white flowers, fruity, green and marine notes. Can be used in eaux fraiches, fougere perfumes and colognes. Provides a long-lasting fresh note.
Natural availability :
Hexyl Salicylate is present in trace amounts in Osmanthus Absolute which does not enable the obtention of a natural extract. It is therefore synthetic Hexyl Salicylate that is most often used in perfumery.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
Comparing it to other salicylates, Hexyl Salicylate is the most neutral.
Price Range :
€
Stability :
May form Salicylic acid through time.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Unstable in acidic products, except antiperspirants, and in very alkaline products.
