Interesting for Orangeblossom, NeroIi, Violet. Rose and, in general as a modifier in heavy floral or Oriental fragrance types. Decyl formate blends Jery well with Opopatmx, Sandalwood, Rose materials, Ionones and Citrus oils. For Orris bases it lends the fresh-oily notes that help change Ionones into more “orrisy“notes. Occasionally used in flavor compositions for imitation Cherry, Plum, Raspberry, Orange. etc.

ChEBI: Decyl formate is a carboxylic ester.

Decyl formate is produced by direct esterification of Decanol with Formic acid e. g. under azeotropic conditions.
