Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol—commonly known as PEA—is a naturally occurring aromatic alcohol found in roses and other floral oils. Known for its gentle, rosy scent with a soft green touch, PEA is a classic ingredient in perfumery. It brings elegance, roundness, and a natural floral nuance to compositions, making it indispensable in rose, floral, and fine fragrance blends.
Its mild and versatile character allows it to serve as both a heart note and a modifier, seamlessly blending with other floral and fruity materials.
Aroma Profile:
Soft, rosy, slightly sweet with delicate green and honey-like undertones.
PEA lends a pure and dewy floral essence that enhances the beauty of rose-based accords and adds a graceful charm to various olfactive families.
Mix and Match – The Heart of Rosey Realism!
PEA acts as a natural connector in floral compositions. Whether you're creating soliflore rose fragrances or enhancing the floralcy in modern blends, PEA softens sharp edges and adds a romantic, blooming quality. It harmonizes beautifully with geranium, jasmine, neroli, aldehydes, and musks.
