How it behaves

Olfactory profile

Family
sweet
Note tendency
Base
Descriptors
sweetfloral

Very subtle, soft floral-balsamic aroma with a faint sweet-woody undertone. Almost odorless in isolation — a delicate warm, slightly herbaceous whisper reminiscent of chamomile. Often used more for skin-conditioning than for its scent contribution.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless viscous oil.

Odor

Sweet and very mild, delicately floral odor.

Uses in perfumery

This sesquiterpene alcohol should soon become known and possibly find use as a blender, fixative of very versatile use.

Production

Produced via Nerolidol plus glacial acetic acid with sulfuric acid to yield Bisabolol acetate. Saponification of that ester yields Bisabolol.
