2-феноксиетанол

Faintly sweet, rose-like with a clean, slightly medicinal edge. 2-Phenoxyethanol is more preservative than perfume — a functional molecule with a whisper of scent.

У парфумерії
Functional preservative rather than a fragrance ingredient. 2-Phenoxyethanol is included in perfumed products as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, not for its scent. Its mild odor profile makes it preferred over more pungent preservatives. Perfumers account for its presence in formulation but do not use it as a scent element. It appears on ingredient lists of virtually all water-containing cosmetics.
