ETHYL CINNAMATE
Description
Ethyl cinnamate is an aromatic ester of cinnamic acid, offering an elegant spicy-balsamic profile. Its scent is spicy, slightly cinnamon and balsamic, with a sweet note of stewed fruit and an oriental warmth that gives it a natural sensuality. Less pungent than pure cinnamon, it brings a softer spicy warmth to compositions. Used in oriental-spicy accords, floral-balsamics, and deep chypres, it contributes to the complexity and warmth of base notes. It blends harmoniously with benzyl benzoate, ambers, and vanillas in sophisticated oriental creations.
