Best Answer

Pears

Certainly pears is found in many textbooks as the associated scent for n-propyl acetate and many noses may agree with this comparison. Personally I found it to smell very similar to acetone, and in fact the fine folks at DOW Chemical (and BASF) seem to be of the same opinion.

"N-propyl acetate is a colorless,

volatile solvent with an odor similar to

acetone. It has good solvency power

for many natural and synthetic resins.

It is miscible with many organic

solvents."

- DOW MSDS for n-Propyl Acetate

"n-Propyl acetate is a clear, volatile,

mobile liquid with a characteristic odour

reminiscent of acetone. It is miscible with

many common solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones,

aldehydes, ethers, glycols and glycol ethers,

but it is only sparingly soluble in water. "
