This is another pyridine derivative of potential interest to perfumery. It could find use as a trace component in top-note complexes with other green materials for novel effects, or in geranium and violet for foliage effect. Also in imitations of flower absolutes, e.g. narcisse, lily, tuberose, and in fancy pine fragrances.
