Descriptors
warm

Likely a shorthand for Bromostyrol (bromostyrene) — a diffusive green-floral aromachemical with a hyacinth-like character underpinned by cinnamic/styrax facets. Sharp and slightly narcotic on first sniff, softening into a warm balsamic floral undertone.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Odor

Peculiar warm-terpeney odor, remotely reminiscent of Pinus Pumilio or Juniperberry, also reminiscent of Lemon (terpenes).

Uses in perfumery

Has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, but it is most conceivable that this chemical, like several others, with Bromine in its molecule cautions most perfumers from making use of it.
