Profile
Ethyl Hexanoate is curated in this catalog as an orchard fruit material, with a secondary reading of crisp fruit.
On the strip it reads Green apple tropical fruity.
It is registered under CAS 123-66-0.
The catalog records an average working dose of 4.0% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.75 · the openingA boiling point of 168 °C and a molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol give Ethyl Hexanoate a volatility index of 0.75, 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 Hexanoate
What does Ethyl Hexanoate smell like?
Ethyl Hexanoate reads as orchard fruit and crisp fruit, described in the catalog as Green apple tropical fruity.
Is Ethyl Hexanoate a top, heart or base note?
Ethyl Hexanoate sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.75 is computed from a boiling point of 168 °C and a molecular weight of 144.21 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 Hexanoate should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 4.0% Max In Concentrate% for Ethyl Hexanoate. 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 Hexanoate?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are MANZANATE (GIVAUDAN) (80.5% match), Methyl Octanoate (76.1% match) and cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate (74% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Ethyl Hexanoate. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for Ethyl Hexanoate?
Ethyl Hexanoate is registered under CAS 123-66-0 in this catalog.
