Comment (FraterWork)
Ethyl Levulinate is a versatile and richly faceted material with a fresh, sweet
odour marked by fruity and green nuances. It contributes juiciness and depth
across a wide range of fragrance types—especially in fruity, floral, and
gourmand compositions. The olfactory profile includes recognisable notes of
apple, pineapple, rhubarb, and mixed berries, supported by ethereal and lightly
floral aspects.
It’s particularly effective at rounding out top and mid notes, lending a
naturalistic, mouth-watering character without overpowering the blend. It also
adds subtle lift to floral accords, notably rose, and brings body to sweet or
rum-like structures in gourmand creations.
