Acetyl carbinyl acetate (3-acetoxy-2-butanone) is a light, diffusive ester with a fresh fruity-green character reminiscent of banana peel and unripe apple, with a subtle buttery-herbal nuance underneath. It flashes off quickly, leaving a clean natural fruit impression useful in topnote accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
