A soft, creamy lactonic material with a warm coumarin-hay facet and a mild nutty-sweet undertone. Rounded and diffusive rather than sharp, it lends a milky, tonka-like smoothness that bridges sweet and powdery notes.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless or pale straw-colored, viscous liquid.
Very faint, sweet-balsamic odor of great tenacity. Sometimes described as resembling the odor of Tolu balsam.
Suggested for use in perfumes as a fixative in heavy floral fragrance types. However, its odor value and odor type are not sufficiently characteristic or unique that this material can stand out alone. It does not offer superior odor value as compared to Tolu balsam, and it is considerably more expensive.
Produced from (several methods), e.g.: from Benzyl malonic ester plus Ethylene oxide.
