Colorless oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, poorly soluble in propylene glycol and glycerin, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Warm-herbaceous odor, less piney and more rosemary-lavandin-like than the acetate. Slightly fruity topnote.
Helpful in building up juniper-cypress-like notes for men's fragrances. Suggested for use in fougères, chypres, pine fragrances and many other non-floral types.
Produced by esterification in the cold of borneol with propionic acid (plus acid catalyst).
