Profile
Ethyl Butyrate is curated in this catalog as an exotic fruit material, with a secondary reading of juicy fruit.
On the strip it reads ethereal fresh pineapple.
It is registered under CAS 105-54-4.
The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.86 · the openingA boiling point of 121.1 °C and a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol give Ethyl Butyrate a volatility index of 0.86, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

Questions about Ethyl Butyrate
What does Ethyl Butyrate smell like?
Ethyl Butyrate reads as exotic fruit and juicy fruit, described in the catalog as ethereal fresh pineapple.
Is Ethyl Butyrate a top, heart or base note?
Ethyl Butyrate sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.86 is computed from a boiling point of 121.1 °C and a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
How much Ethyl Butyrate should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max% for Ethyl Butyrate. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.
What can I use instead of Ethyl Butyrate?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Ethyl Propionate (96.5% match), Ethyl Heptoate - Ethyl Heptanoate - Oenanthic Ether (90.6% match) and Isoamyl Acetate (76.4% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Ethyl Butyrate. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for Ethyl Butyrate?
Ethyl Butyrate is registered under CAS 105-54-4 in this catalog.
