Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Cinnamyl acetate has a balsamic, slightly sweet floral spice scent reminiscent of cinnamon and jasmine. The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is as a spice accent where many other substances would predominate. You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with exotic floral scents such as jasmine and ylang-ylang, bulbous flowers such as tulip and narcissus. In addition, you use it in everything with vanilla, such as amber perfumes. It adds a touch of spice that enlivens flowers and makes the sweetness of vanilla more bearable. It is mainly a base note in perfumes and is quite stable in most products, you can also use it in soap.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Cinnamyl acetate is a pale yellow to yellow liquid at room temperature. It can solidify by cold transport, but after being gently heated in a bain marie it will remain liquid at room temperature; the substance has a fairly long shelf life. It occurs in nature, including in ylang-ylang and narcissus. For use as a fragrance, the synthetic version is used, which is almost entirely based on fossil substances such as petroleum.
