Powerful, pungent aroma of cumin seed with a distinctive sweaty, almost animalic facet. Warm and spicy with a green, aldehydic edge that softens into a herbaceous body. Highly diffusive and can dominate a blend at very low doses.AI · claude-opus-4-7
Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 313.
Colorless liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Pungent, green-herbaceous odor with notes of animal and vegetable character at the same time. Generally described as 'unpleasant' in high concentration. At concentrations well below 1% the odor appears more attractive, warm-spicy, still vegetable, condiment-pickle-like.
More extensively used in flavor compositions as a trace ingredient in Blackcurrant, Gooseberry, Fruit, Spice-blends, etc.
Useful in minute traces in perfume compositions as part of a topnote, however, in most cases, the oil or the absolute are preferred for such delicate creations.
Concentrations is limited to mere traces in the finished product.
Produced from para-iso-Propyl benzoylchloride and Hexamethylene tetramine.
