Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol is the main material used for reconstructions of rose. On
its own it paints a picture of dried red roses, but in combination with the
other rose alcohols (geraniol, nerol, and citronellol) an entire bloom emerges.
Add cinnamic nuances, greenness and honey notes and you begin to paint the full
picture of a wild rose, foliage and all.
Our Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol is direct from Firmenich and unlike generic PEA, this
is full of life with more intense and interesting nuances of honey, cinnamon and
green floralcy. A true gem.
According to Arctander, “This material enters perfume compositions at the rate
of 5-10-20% or sometimes much more. Its low cost, versatility and general
acceptability on odor, its excellent stability are factors speaking strongly in
favour of this otherwise relatively weak odourant. However, its odor is clearly
demonstrated in an experiment with an apparently weak crystalline
fixative/odourant, such as [rose crystals]. With 5% of the crystalline material,
Phenyl ethyl alcohol will smell not only much more rosy, it will last much
longer, and its 'rough' topnotes are pleasantly subdued, it has 'three
dimensions' instead of two.
“But it is in the 'everyday' perfumery that the subject alcohol is most
appreciated. It is almost never 'out of place' in a composition, be it floral,
balsamic, Oriental, mossy, herbaceous or 'modern-aldehydic'. It is an inevitable
companion to the 'rose alcohols', Citronellol, Geraniol, Nerol, Dimethyl octanol
[tetrahydro geraniol], etc. and it may receive fixation from Guaiacwood oil,
Nitromusks, Coumarin [https://fraterworks.com/products/coumarin-synthetic] and
Heliotropin [https://fraterworks.com/products/piperonal], Rosetone, Resinoids,
etc. It blends excellently with the Linalool family, and with all the newer
'Lily’-alcohols, 'Muguet'-alcohols, etc. as well as in Lime and Spice blends.”
