Amyl myristate is a nearly odorless emollient ester with only a faint, soft fatty-waxy character on the blotter. It functions primarily as a solvent/fixative and skin-feel modifier rather than an olfactive contributor.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Odor

Very mild, waxy odor, to some persons it is absolutely odorless.

Uses in perfumery

Has occasionally been used as a blender/modifier in fragrances of Violet type, or other fragrances where Ionones play an important role. It may contribute a faint 'petal-like' effect in floral fragrances, but is generally considered too weak to produce a reasonable odor value.

Production

Produced from iso-Amyl alcohol and Myristic acid.
