An extremely sweet and creamy aromatic chemical, Ethyl Vanillin is a crystalline powder that is aromatically compatible with a huge range of other ingredients, making it highly versatile for both flavor and fragrance purposes. Warm and intensely reminiscent of vanilla, this chemical is incredibly tenacious when added to flavoring mixtures, making it a must-have for many different fruit and dairy products. The subtle, lightly floral nuances of its odor also makes it a popular choice among gourmand perfumery.
