para-Tolyl acetate has a warm, sweet floral-honey odor reminiscent of ylang-ylang and narcissus, with fruity nuances and a slightly narcotic, balsamic undertone. Over time it settles into a softer, powdery-floral character.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet, floral-fruity and mildly green-herbaceous odor of moderate tenacity. Sweeter and less harsh than Benzylacetate, longer lasting and richer.
Sweet-fruity, slightly herbaceous (spicy-warm) taste in concentrations below 40 ppm. Rather pungent at higher levels.
This ester has found increasing use in perfume compositions, although its price is many times that of Benzylacetate. But since the effect of the title material in Jasmin bases and compositions is far superior to that of Benzylacetate, the higher cost causes only little reluctance in using the Tolylester. It blends excellently with Jasmin materials, Hyacinth, New Mown Hay, Gardenia, etc. and gives very good results with the Pyranylether and -ester specialties (Jasmal, Tepylacetate, etc.). A steady increase in the demand and use of this material may also lower the market cost and further help making it a common fragrance chemical for everyday use.
It gives very sweet and pleasant fruity effects in Banana, Cherry, Butter, Caramel, Honey, Nut and Spice flavors, fruit complexes (tutti-frutti for chewing gum, etc.) and is used at concentrations from 1 to 10 ppm in most finished products, except in chewing gum where it may be as high as 200 ppm.
