Phenethyl alcohol, or 2-phenylethanol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH₂CH₂OH. It is a colourless liquid with a pleasant floral odor. It occurs widely in nature, being found in a variety of essential oils. It is slightly soluble in water (2 ml per 100 ml of H₂O), but miscible with most organic solvents. The molecule of phenethyl alcohol consists of a phenethyl group (C₆H₅CH₂CH₂−) attached to a hydroxyl group (−OH).
