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.
