The above statement is true.
Methyl ethanoate is an ester. Esters are fragrant substances with a sweet scent that are utilised in the production of perfumes. Alcohol and carboxylic acid are combined during the process of esterification to produce an ester. Methyl ethanoate, therefore, smells like sweet fruit. Perfumes can be created with methyl ethanoate.
