This relatively rare perfume material is not offered commercially under its proper chemical name. It has been suggested for use in perfumes since the 1930's, and has never become a very famous material. However, this fact should not always be taken as indication that the material is uninteresting. It has managed to escape perhaps 9 out of every 10 perfume laboratories, and most perfumers never use it, many have never heard of it. For special purposes, in the creation of unusual or 'unconventional' bases, it has found some application.
Produced by condensation of Thujone with Anisaldehyde under mildly alkaline conditions.
