Appearance

Colorless slightly oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water and glycerin, poorly soluble in propylene glycol, soluble in alcohol, mineral oil and perfume oils.

Odor

Mild oily-piney, balsamic-camphoraceous odor, reminiscent of spruce needles or certain pine needles. The odor is overall thinner than that of Bornyl acetate.

Flavor

Used in some types of fruit flavor. Concentrations in the finished product are usually about 10-15 ppm, but may run as high as 70 or 80 ppm in chewing gum.

Uses in perfumery

Very extensively used in low-cost household fragrances, industrial fragrances, soap perfumes, masking odors, etc. It does not replace Bornyl acetate in 'true-to-Nature' pine needle fragrance, but is generally accepted by the public consumer market as a pine needle fragrance material. In blends with Terpynyl acetate, Coumarin and Amyl salicylate, it may form the basis of very low cost Fougere types.

Production

Produced from camphene (from beta-Pinene) by reaction with acetic acid.
