About
A cyclohexyl ester of phenylacetic acid with honey-floral notes. Standard perfumery material with a clean safety profile.
Cyclohexyl phenylacetate (CAS 42288-75-5) is the cyclohexanol ester of phenylacetic acid, used in perfumery for honey, floral, and rose notes. Phenylacetate esters are common fragrance materials with solid safety records — rapidly hydrolyzed by skin esterases and well-tolerated at normal use levels. No significant GHS hazards beyond mild eye/skin irritation at neat concentrations; not an EU Annex III declared allergen. RIFM/IFRA cover its fragrance use. Good tier reflects standard low-risk ester chemistry.
