Ethyl benzoylacetate (interpreting 'Ethyl BenzoXYAcetate' as ethyl phenoxyacetate or the related benzoate ester family) has a soft honeyed-floral character with green-fruity nuances reminiscent of hyacinth, jasmine and unripe pear. It sits between a mild balsamic sweetness and a slightly winey, rosy facet. Rounded rather than sharp, it blends easily into white-floral and fruity accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
