Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
This material captures something remarkable—the scent of ripe fruit that's still
growing on the tree. Unlike harsh green notes that smell purely vegetal, this
butyrate ester brings creamy richness that bridges fresh and ripe. You
immediately recognise the buttery, waxy quality that makes fruit accords feel
real rather than synthetic.
The winey, cognac-like character sets this material apart from simpler green
esters. This facet adds sophistication and maturity, transforming basic
fruitiness into something more complex and adult. You can leverage this quality
to create modern gourmand effects where green meets creamy, or to add unexpected
depth to floral compositions.
Use this when you need to move beyond one-dimensional fruit notes. Its
exceptional 216-hour substantivity means it bridges from top notes deep into the
heart, whilst its creamy texture prevents fruit accords from becoming
candy-like. Perfect for creating the impression of biting into fresh,
waxy-skinned fruit.
