Also known as 1-octen-3-ol, this material has a powerful fresh, earthy mushroom character with a green, slightly fatty edge. It evokes the smell of raw button mushrooms and damp forest floor, with a subtle oily-herbaceous undertone.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Very powerful, sweet-earthy, almost buttery and fungus- or fermentation-like odor with a strong herbaceous note, suggestive of Lavender-Lavandin-Rose and Hay. Somewhat acrid-chemical undertone which is hardly perceptible at proper (high) dilution.
Sweet-herbaceous, haylike-earthy taste.
Since this chemical has been identified in Lavandin and many other important essential oils, it has become extremely popular in the art and science of preparing artificial or reconstituted essential oils. This is where the alcohol finds its main outlet.
Also used in flavors (and in artificial Spearmint), such as Spice, Fruit, etc. usually in very low concentration: 0.2 to 6 ppm in the finished consumer product.
Produced by Vinyl Grignard reaction on Hexaldehyde or from Amyl Magnesium Bromide plus Acrolein.
