Benzil-propionat

Sweet, fruity-floral with a soft, jasmine-banana quality. Benzyl propionate smells like ripe bananas on a bed of jasmine petals — warm, ester-sweet, gently tropical.

Zanimljivosti
The 'banana' quality of propionate esters is so characteristic that perfumery students can identify the propionate group by nose alone — a skill called 'ester recognition' that is taught in the first months of perfumery school.

U parfemima
Heart modifier in jasmine reconstructions and fruity-floral compositions. Benzyl propionate adds a soft, tropical-fruity sweetness to floral accords. In jasmine bases, it contributes a ripe, sweet quality that complements benzyl acetate's greener character. Also used in tropical-floral and fruity-sweet compositions where a banana-jasmine ambiguity is desired. Low dosages — typically well below 1% — where its effect is additive rather than dominant.
