Pear Ester, or ethyl decadienoate, smells like a ripe, juicy pear, with crisp green and fresh fruity notes. Its aroma is bright, diffusive, and perfect for adding energy to fragrances. Used mostly as a top-note booster, it works in fruity, floral, and even gourmand blends. This ester doesn’t just smell like pear—it can also mimic other fruits, like tart quince or sweet apple, depending on the formula. Its versatility and natural feel make it a favourite for creating bold, modern fruit accords. Pair it with bergamot or mandarin for a sharp, bright start. Add it to green galbanum materials for a fresher edge, or combine it with vanillin and caramel for a creamy, sweet finish. It shines in juicy-fruit mixes, working seamlessly with materials like cis-3-hexenyl acetate or benzyl acetate. Pear Ester is a powerful tool for any perfumer. We recommend you keep Pear Ester at a cool, stable temperature, ideally below 25°C (77°F). Under those conditions it has a typical 2 year shelf life.
