Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (PEA)
Arctander writes fairly extensively about it: “This material enters perfume compositions at the rate of 5-10-20% or sometimes much more. Its low cost, versatility and general acceptability on odor, its excellent stability are factors speaking strongly in favor of this otherwise relatively weak odorant. However, its odor is clearly demonstrated in an experiment with an apparently weak crystalline ftxative/odorant, such as [rose crystals]. With 5% of the crystalline material, Phenylethylalcohol will smell not only much more rosy, it will last much longer, and its �rough’ topnotes are pleasantly subdued, it has �three dimensions’ instead of two. But it is in the �everyday’ perfumery that the subject alcohol is most appreciated. It is almost never �out of place’ in a composition, be it floral, balsamic, Oriental, mossy, herbaceous or �modem-aldehydic’.
