Methyl octine carbonate (CAS 111-80-8) is a synthetic fragrance ingredient classified as an ester. It is known for its fresh, fruity, and slightly floral character, often reminiscent of green apple or melon. In perfumery, it is typically used to impart a bright, uplifting note, making it suitable for a variety of fragrance types, including fruity, floral, and aquatic compositions. Methyl octine carbonate can be found in both fine fragrances and personal care products, where it contributes to the overall olfactory profile and enhances the freshness of the scent. As with many synthetic fragrance materials, it is important to consider safety and regulatory aspects when formulating. While specific IFRA restrictions may apply, Methyl octine carbonate is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products, provided it is used within established guidelines. Perfumers should be aware of potential sensitivities and allergens associated with synthetic materials, although Methyl octine carbonate is not commonly listed as a major allergen. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.

An intensely powerful green-violet odor, sharp and vegetal, with a cucumber-melon rind facet and a slightly waxy, oily undertone. Reminiscent of crushed violet leaves and unripe fruit skin, with a piercing metallic edge that softens into a subtle fatty greenness.AI · claude-opus-4-7
