Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (PEA)
Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (also known as Phenethyl Alcohol or 2-Phenylethanol) is one of the most important aroma chemicals used in modern perfumery. Known for its soft, elegant rose-like floral aroma, this material is essential for building natural rose accords and enhancing floral fragrance compositions.
In perfumery, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol forms the backbone of many classic rose reconstructions. On its own it suggests the aroma of dried red roses, but when blended with other rose alcohols such as geraniol, nerol, and citronellol, it creates the impression of a full rose in bloom. Subtle nuances of honey, green florals, and light spice add complexity and realism to fragrance formulas.
Because of its versatility, stability, and pleasant odor profile, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol is widely used in fine fragrance, cosmetic fragrance, soaps, candles, and personal care products. It blends effortlessly with many perfume materials and helps smooth and round fragrance compositions.
