Description

Amyl cinnamate (CAS 3487-99-8), also known as cinnamic acid pentyl ester, is a synthetic ester used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient in food and personal care manufacturing. It delivers a characteristic sweet, balsamic, floral scent profile that positions it as a building block for complex fragrance compositions and flavor systems for industrial use.

In fragrance formulation, it functions as a fixative and scent modifier in fine perfumes, body lotions, and soaps, contributing warm floral and oriental notes to the final product. Food manufacturers incorporate it into flavor systems for confectionery, baked goods, and beverages where a sweet, cinnamon-adjacent profile is required for specific consumer taste profiles.

In personal care products such as shampoos and skin creams, it supports fragrance retention and blending with other aromatic esters to ensure a long-lasting scent experience. Cosmetic formulators also use it as a component in floral and oriental accord construction for leave-on and rinse-off applications across various beauty and hygiene product lines.

Amyl cinnamate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and flavor-grade specifications to meet the requirements of cosmetic and food-grade supply chains. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on application volume. Our material meets rigorous quality standards to ensure consistency in every batch delivered.
