Benzyl salicylate is a salicylic acid benzyl ester, a chemical compound most frequently used in cosmetics. It appears as an almost colorless liquid with a mild odor described as balsam, clean, herbal, oily, sweet.^[1] It occurs naturally in a variety of plants and plant extracts and is widely used in blends of fragrance materials.^[1]

There is some evidence that people can become sensitized to this material^[2] and as a result there is a restriction standard concerning the use of this material in fragrances by the International Fragrance Association.^[3]

It is used as a solvent for synthetic musks and as a fixative in floral perfumes such as jasmine, lilac, and lily.^[4]
