What Lavandulyl Acetate smells like
Lavandulyl acetate is a minor constituent of lavender oil, described in supplier listings as having lavender nuances. Its parent alcohol, lavandulol, is described as a weak floral-herbal odour with a slightly lemon-like, fresh citrus-fruity nuance. No detailed independent description of the acetate itself was found, so its profile here is necessarily brief.

Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend).
How Lavandulyl Acetate differs from similar materials
- Lavender Oil
- Lavender oil is fuller and floral, built on linalool and linalyl acetate; lavandulyl acetate is one of its minor esters, a lighter herbal note.
Each difference compares the published descriptions of the two materials. Smell varies with grade, supplier and dilution; compare them side by side on blotters before substituting one for another.

Safety and compliance
No safety data sheet or hazard classification for lavandulyl acetate was found published: PubChem holds no EU GHS notification for it, and The Good Scents Company lists none. That is an absence of published data, not evidence that it is safe; ask the maker for the safety data sheet of the lot you hold.
This page is general information, not a safety assessment or a specification. Confirm identity, composition, IFRA status and allergen content from your supplier's documents for the lot you hold.
