Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

Comparing it to other salicylates, Benzyl Salicylate is the closest to Jasmine Absolute Egypt.

Stability :

May form Salicylic acid through time.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Unstable in acidic products, except antiperspirants, and in very alkaline products.

Uses in perfumery :

Benzyl Salicylate is used in floral notes, for a slightly marine and iodized nuance. Helps to stabilize fragrances and to absorb UV rays. Used to perfume sunscreens.

Year of discovery :

1908

Isomerism :

Benzyl Salicylate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Benzyl Salicylate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Natural availability :

Benzyl Salicylate is found in Ylang-Ylang Extra EO (and other ylang fractions), which makes it easy to obtain it in its natural state by fractional distillation. However, synthetic Benzyl Salicylate remains the most used in perfumery.

Synthesis route :

Benzyl Salicylate, like other Salicylates, is synthesized by an esterification reaction between salicylic acid and Benzyl Alcohol. This reaction is catalysed by the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid in the reaction medium.
