A soft, rosy-floral aroma chemical with a powdery, slightly honeyed sweetness. Reminiscent of phenylethyl alcohol but heavier and more tenacious, with a subtle balsamic warmth from the tert-amyl substitution. Rounded and diffusive, useful as a floral extender.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Peculiar earthy-floral, somewhat camphoraceous and rather dry odor, remotely reminiscent of Rose and Hyacinth.
Has been suggested for use in perfumery where it could introduce power (stability in soap), and modifying notes to woody-floral fragrances of the more modern soap fragrance type.
