Phenoxy Ethyl Isobutyrate is a sheer fruity material with nuances of honey, green leaves and rose. It is very long lasting, remaining more than seven days on a smelling strip so it is an extremely good product for extending the life of fruit accords, particularly plum (it makes up nearly forty percent of the great Prunella® plum base of Firmenich in fact). Not surprisingly its blends with Persicol and Wild Cherry are supreme, but as a floral nuancer it works wonders with the classic rose materials, particularly Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol. Try it with Zanzibar Clovebud, Ceylon Cinnamon and the rose ketones for a delightful apple pie filling, or combine it with a touch of Theaspirane to mimic the scent of tea soaked prunes.
