Isoamyl acetate smells like a sweet, fruity banana with a hint of pear drops and a solvent-like, slightly choking estery note.

Perfumer Supply House: Sweet, banana, fruity with a ripe nuance. great fruity note for any composition.
The Fragrance Foundry: The aromachemical used for synthetic banana flavouring. smells like nail varnish when concentrated, the banana smell reveals itself in lower concentrations. very much a top note so only lasts in the opening of a fragrance.
