Linalyl acetate
Description
Linalyl acetate (CAS 115-95-7), also known by its FEMA 2636 designation, is a naturally occurring ester found in lavender, bergamot, and clary sage oils. It is widely sourced as an isolated or synthetic aroma chemical for industrial use.
It delivers a fresh, floral-citrus character that positions it as a core building block in fragrance and flavor formulation. In fine fragrance and personal care, it anchors lavender, fougère, and citrus accords across perfumes and lotions.
Body lotions and hair care products frequently utilize this ester for its aromatic profile. Functional formulations such as fabric softeners and household cleaners rely on it to reinforce clean, floral scent profiles at cost-effective use levels.
In food and beverage flavoring, it contributes bergamot and citrus top notes to confectionery, baked goods, and tea-type flavor systems. It also appears in oral care and functional beverage applications where a light floral-citrus lift is required.
Linalyl acetate is supplied as a clear, mobile liquid in both natural-isolated and synthetic grades. Natural material, typically derived from lavender or bergamot fractions, commands a price premium for natural-compliant formulations.
Synthetic material is available to FEMA/GRAS and food-grade standards, with fragrance-grade material meeting standard industry purity benchmarks. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality for high-volume manufacturing requirements.
