A soft, muted floral-jasmine character derived from the acetal of amyl cinnamic aldehyde. Less sharp and more diffuse than jasmonal itself, with a waxy-balsamic sweetness and a quiet, rounded floral warmth that lingers longer than the parent aldehyde.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Almost colorless, oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, poorly soluble in propylene glycol, soluble in alcohol and perfume oils.

Odor

This acetal is described as having a caraway-type odor, but the author does not quite agree, since he finds only a very mild, warm-herbaceous, almost floral-green odor with a trace of spicy undertones.

Uses in perfumery

The author would assume that this acetal has little or no interest to the creative perfumer. It does not offer any unusual notes or power, and its main virtue could only be that of a high-cost fixative.

Production

Produced from amylcinnamic aldehyde and cinnamic alcohol by condensation.
