Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 1307.
Almost colorless mobile liquid.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Powerful and penetrating, warm-herbaceous, minty-camphoraceous odor of moderate to poor tenacity.
Warm-herbaceous, bitter taste in concentrations lower than 10 ppm. Higher concentrations produce pungent-bitter, herbaceous taste.
The title monoterpenoid ketone is used sparingly in certain perfume formulations, often as a trace component of topnote compositions, and it blends very well with Oakmoss, Rosemary, Geranium, Galbanum and various green-herbaceous notes, and with certain Ambre-type fragrances.
Prod.: by isolation from various essential oils: Cedarleaf oil (Thuja oil), Tansy oil, Dalmatian Sage oil, etc.
