Sharp, pungent solvent-like odor with a faintly sweet, estery fruitiness reminiscent of acrylic monomers. Not a typical perfumery aroma chemical — used industrially as a polymer monomer rather than a fragrance ingredient, and its smell is aggressive and chemical rather than pleasant.AI · claude-opus-4-7
