Application
Amyl salicylate (pentyl salicylate, CAS 2050-08-0) is a high-purity organic ester valued for its sweet, floral, herbaceous, and balsamic aroma with green and slightly chocolate-like undertones. In the fragrance industry, it is widely used as a fixative and blending agent in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, and household cleaners. It imparts natural, long-lasting floral notes to jasmine, carnation, and fougère accords, while also serving as an effective scent masker.

Its excellent stability across a wide pH range (2–11) ensures robust performance in fabric conditioners, antiperspirants, and bleach-containing products. Additionally, it is used as a solvent for resins and waxes in industrial formulations.
