A classic jasmine-type aldehyde with a soft, waxy-floral character reminiscent of jasmine petals and lily. Slightly fatty and creamy with a mild herbaceous-green edge, it lacks the indolic depth of true jasmine and reads as smoother and more diffusive. Over time it settles into a gentle, sweet floral warmth.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Yellow viscous liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume materials, poorly soluble in Propylene glycol.

Odor

Sweet-floral, predominantly Orangeblossom-like odor with oily-herbaceous undertones, reminiscent of Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Tuberose, remotely of Jasmin and other heavy florals.

Uses in perfumery

Used mainly for its highly fixative purposes. Its tenacity being one of its greatest assets, this material can be incorporated in numerous types of floral fragrances, the concentration varying from less than one percent to several percent in Orangeblossom or Honeysuckle types.

Production

Produced by condensation of Amylcinnamic aldehyde with Methyl anthranilate to form the conventional Schiff’s base. The purity of the components and the stoichiometric calculation of the two components, the process of condensation, etc., all have considerable influence upon the odor type of the outcoming base.
