A soft, diffusive woody-floral note with a fresh fruity facet reminiscent of apple and pear skin over a light cedar backdrop. Cleaner and more transparent than Vertenex, with a gentle green-woody character that blends easily into floral and fougère structures.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Solubility

soluble in alcohol, essential oils and perfume materials.

Odor

Camphoraceous, balsamic-green and somewhat sweet odor, reminiscent of certain Pine needle oils, and with good tenacity. Its woody undertones makes it compatible with Patchouli oil, making the overall odor drier.

Uses in perfumery

Used in perfumery not only for Pine fragrances, but generally as a modifier for numerous other derivatives of Cyclohexanol. Stable in alkali under normal conditions. For woody, powdery, herbaceous-camphoraceous fragrance types.

Production

Produced from ortho-tertiary-Amyl cyclohexanol, which in turn is produced from the corresponding phenol, by hydrogenation.
