Phenoxyethyl Isobutyrate (Phenirat)

CAS: 103-60-6

Phenoxyethyl Isobutyrate (Phenirat) is an aromatic ester with a soft floral, rosy, fruity, and delicately honeyed character, supported by a gentle balsamic warmth. Its fragrance is smooth, rounded, and subtly sweet, making it particularly useful for enriching floral compositions without introducing excessive sharpness or heaviness.

Unlike the fresher, more direct rose character of Phenethyl Alcohol, Phenirat offers a warmer, sweeter, and more rounded floral-fruity impression. It helps soften transitions between ingredients, adding body and harmony to rose, white floral, and fruity accords.

In perfumery, Phenirat functions primarily as a Modifier / Blender, contributing softness, floral sweetness, and a cohesive texture. It is well suited to rose, jasmine, fruity-floral, musky, powdery, and soft amber fragrances.

It blends particularly well with Phenethyl Alcohol, Phenethyl Acetate, Geraniol, Citronellol, Hedione, Jasmine materials, Ylang Ylang, fruity esters, sandalwood materials, and musks.

Its principal value lies in its ability to introduce delicate floral-fruity sweetness, roundness, and elegance, making fragrance accords feel smoother and more naturally integrated.
