Profile
Isoamyl Acetate is curated in this catalog as a tropical fruit material, with a secondary reading of juicy fruit.
On the strip it reads Banana tropical sweet fruity.
It is registered under CAS 123-92-2.
The catalog records an average working dose of 25.0% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.81 · the openingA boiling point of 142 °C and a molecular weight of 130.18 g/mol give Isoamyl Acetate a volatility index of 0.81, 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 Isoamyl Acetate
What does Isoamyl Acetate smell like?
Isoamyl Acetate reads as tropical fruit and juicy fruit, described in the catalog as Banana tropical sweet fruity.
Is Isoamyl Acetate a top, heart or base note?
Isoamyl Acetate sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.81 is computed from a boiling point of 142 °C and a molecular weight of 130.18 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 Isoamyl Acetate should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 25.0% Max In Concentrate% for Isoamyl Acetate. 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 Isoamyl Acetate?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Ethyl Butyrate (76.9% match), MANZANATE (GIVAUDAN) (71.3% match) and Allyl Caproate (64.6% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Isoamyl Acetate. Ranking ignores price.
