applications:

In fragrances, benzyl benzoate is added to decrease the scent’s rate of evaporation, and thus increases its duration. This fragrance solvent is particularly effective for nitro-musks, certain natural extracts and other very low-polarity ingredients that can be difficult to dissolve. It is also used as a modifier in heavier floral and Oriental type fragrances, such as Tuberose, Yiang- Ylang, Lily, Gardenia, etc. Benzyl benzoate is frequently substituted with other fragrance solvents such as diethyl phthalate or benzyl salicylate when a faint odor is desirable.
