Descriptors

A bright, juicy citrus-fruity note reminiscent of fresh lemon and lime peel with a slightly waxy, estery green facet. Cleaner and less bitter than raw citrus oils, with a subtle sweet-tart character that fades fairly quickly.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Occasionally used as a solvent for perfume or flavor materials, but not as commonly as Triethyl citrate.

Odor

Very faint odor, vinous-herbaceous type.

Uses in perfumery

Its very high boiling point (and low vapor pressure) makes it useful as a fixative-blender-diluent for industrial perfumes.
