Methyl Cinnamate

With sweet, balsamic, fruity, and softly spicy at the front and strawberry nuance, warm resin, and a powdery cinnamon trace emerging later, Methyl Cinnamate offers a clear two-stage profile.

Rather than acting as a finished fragrance, it can define the fruit effect and give the accord a clearer, more recognisable direction, especially in balsamic accords, fruity florals, ambers, gourmands, and warm fragrance bases. With Methyl Cinnamate, the balsam & fruit effect is most useful when it strengthens the intended accord rather than drawing attention to the raw material itself.

Restraint preserves its role. An excessive dose can make the formula dusty, syrupy, or overly sweet. A blotter establishes direction, but the finished base shows whether Methyl Cinnamate is supporting the formula or beginning to obscure it.
