Soft, slightly sweet floral-balsamic with a creamy, almost waxy character. Quiet and diffusive rather than assertive, it lends a smooth, powdery backdrop reminiscent of ylang, carnation and a whisper of clove. Excellent blender that rounds and fixes floral compositions.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 149.
Colorless oily liquid, or opaque crystalline mass, melting at 24-26°C.
Almost insoluble in water, insoluble in glycerin, poorly soluble in propylene glycol, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Very faint, sweet-floral, slightly balsamic odor.
Characteristic of this mild-smelling material is that it has quite powerful taste.
Widely used as a blender in perfumery, and generally as a mild, floral background with an effect not unlike that of Ylang-Ylang.
It is used in mere traces in apricot, banana, peach and plum, as well as in the so-called 'floral' flavors, where the sweet taste of Benzyl salicylate gives powerful effect.
1) from Benzyl chloride and sodium salicylate (sometimes with an amine as a catalyst). 2) by trans-esterification of Benzyl alcohol with methyl salicylate with sodium methyl salicylate catalyst.
