A soft, sweet floral aromachemical with a rosy-hyacinth character and a gentle green nuance. Smoother and more diffusive than phenylethyl alcohol, it lends a rounded, slightly balsamic floral background that supports rose and white-floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Odor

Heavy floral-earthy-mossy, wet-green odor, reminiscent of certain types of Rose. However, this ether is only pleasant smelling when properly diluted.

Uses in perfumery

This chemical forms a member of a long series of ethers offered on the market partly as a result of intense research concentrating on the identification of components in powerfully smelling natural flower oils. Benzyl phenylethyl ether is very stable in soap, and could find use as a modifier for other Rose-fixatives for soap perfumes.

Production

Produced from Benzyl alcohol and Phenylethyl alcohol, by ether-condensation.
