Cinnamyl Acetate

Cinnamyl Acetate is a fragrance ingredient appreciated in perfumery for its warm, spicy-floral character. Its scent profile is typically described as sweet, balsamic, and slightly cinnamon-like, with elegant floral nuances reminiscent of hyacinth, accompanied by soft fruity and honeyed undertones.

The material usually appears as a clear to pale liquid with moderate viscosity, and is valued for its smooth diffusion and rich aromatic presence within fragrance compositions. Its character is warm and refined, making it particularly effective for adding depth and a soft spicy sweetness to floral accords.

Cinnamyl Acetate is especially appreciated for its ability to bridge floral and spicy facets, bringing a natural warmth and rounded sweetness that enhances the complexity of a composition without becoming harsh or overpowering.

In practical perfumery, Cinnamyl Acetate is frequently used to enhance hyacinth and floral accords, while also contributing warmth and subtle spice to oriental and balsamic compositions. It blends particularly well with rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, cinnamon-like notes, balsamic resins, and fruity materials, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including floral perfumes, spicy florals, oriental compositions, and elegant classic fragrances.
