Material Detail
Benzyl Isoeugenol is an aromatic compound derived from eugenol and benzyl alcohol. It belongs to the class of phenylpropanoids and is commonly used in fragrances, flavors, and cosmetic formulations. Known for its warm, sweet, and spicy aroma, Benzyl Isoeugenol is highly valued in perfumery for creating rich and complex scent profiles.
In Indonesia, a country celebrated for its vast natural resources and biodiversity, Benzyl Isoeugenol is often linked to the extraction of key raw materials such as eugenol from clove or nutmeg oils—two essential oils where Indonesia holds a dominant position in global production.
