Phenethyl acetate is an aromatic ester formed by the reaction of phenethyl alcohol and acetic acid. With the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 164.2 g/mol, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral, honey-like aroma, often described as reminiscent of roses and jasmine. Naturally found in flowers like roses, hyacinth, and carnation, phenethyl acetate is widely used in the fragrance, flavor, cosmetic, and personal care industries due to its pleasant scent and low toxicity.
