Allyl Caproate, also known as Allyl Hexanoate, is a highly impactful fruity aroma ingredient recognized for its powerful pineapple character combined with juicy tropical fruit facets and a subtle powdery nuance. This powdery element softens the sharpness often associated with fruity esters, giving the material a slightly creamy and more rounded impression while maintaining its signature brightness.
The olfactive profile opens with an immediate burst of fresh, sweet, and slightly green pineapple, followed by a smooth, lightly powdery undertone that adds elegance and balance. This makes Allyl Caproate more versatile than purely sharp fruit esters, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into refined fruity, floral-fruity, and gourmand compositions.
In perfumery, Allyl Caproate is primarily used in top-note structures, where it delivers instant impact, lift, and diffusion. It is especially effective in pineapple accords, tropical fruits, exotic florals, and modern fruity fragrances. When carefully dosed, it blends well with berries, apple notes, lactones, musks, vanilla, and creamy woods, with the powdery aspect helping to smooth transitions.
Due to its strength, Allyl Caproate is used in very small quantities, making it an essential building block for creating realistic, vibrant, and slightly polished pineapple effects in both fine fragrance and functional perfumery.
