Did you that by refluxing with acetic acid & sulfuric acid method @arkoma? I did the synthesis of n-butyl acetate according to this method (by Vogel's procedure) and I would say it is one of my favourite. I like the easiness of the preparation and the smell.
Has propyl acetate also nice smell? I want to make more acetate esters also and if you know some having particularly good smell I would start with them.
