Colorless liquid.
Faint, but fresh-balsamic, slightly fatty odor.
Although mainly suitable as a solvent of low odor level, this ester could be used as a blender or modifier in Oriental fragrance types, in Citrus fragrances (where it could act partly as a fixative) and in Fougeres, etc.
Produced from Benzyl alcohol and Nonoic acid by direct esterification under azeotropic conditions.
