Cleaner and more diffusive than the trans-isomer, with a rounded, versatile character often described as reminiscent of muguet and light woods.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless slightly oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
The practically pure cis-isomer has a pronounced fruity note over the woody sweetness and velvety softness that make it resemble Orris products.
This ester will emphasize the clean, soft and slightly fruity notes in Vetiver, more so in the Methylionones, and it tends to sweeten Patchouli oil.
Produced by Acetylation of the alcohol. A high-cis-content is achieved by hydrogenation with selected catalysts, and purification of the ester is improved by the fact that the cis-isomer distills somewhat lower than the trans-isomer.
