Colorless oily liquid.
Powerful, woody-green somewhat oily odor, reminiscent of fresh woodsap and bark. At proper dilution, the woody notes become more minty-earthy, root-like, dry.
Has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a modifier for other 'green' chemicals, often in combination with Ionones, Vetiver oil, iso-Butylsalicylate, etc.
Produced (several methods) e.g.: from iso-Valeric aldehyde plus Allyl magnesium bromide by Grignard synthesis.
