Descriptions
Description
Benzyl Benzoate, like Benzyl Salicylate, does not have a strong and distinct
scent, but it is an excellent solvent for substances that are difficult to
dilute in alcohol. It can also smooth and soften the sharp edges of more intense
molecules.

Comment (FraterWork)
Benzyl benzoate is a quiet achiever in perfumery having a dual role as both a
fixative and a solvent. Its mild, slightly sweet balsamic scent rarely steals
the spotlight but works wonders behind the scenes, boosting the performance of
other materials. It can also stabilise volatile ingredients.
In floral compositions, it lends a unique smoothness and natural feel to
jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang accords. It's also a key component in
recreating the rich, warm depth of natural balsams.
Thanks to its exceptional solubility, benzyl benzoate is vital in dissolving
challenging materials like crystalline musks or stubborn absolutes (as evidenced
in our Violet Leaf Superessence in which a small amount of naturally derived
benzyl benzoate is combined with natural triethyl citrate for maximum
solubility.)
We do have stock of this in a natural form if necessary. Contact us for pricing.
