Colorless oily liquid.
Very faint balsamic-rosy odor of great tenacity. Less honeylike, more floral than Benzyl phenylacetate, also more fruity than this.
Occasionally used in perfumes as a blender-fixative, giving considerable background or fond in the composition.
Used in flavor compositions mainly as a modifier in honey flavors, and occasionally as a fixative in flavors for baked goods, candy and other heat-treated consumer products.
