A soft, woody-balsamic aromachemical with a mild sweet-phenolic facet reminiscent of dry amber and faint anisic wood. Low-key and diffusive rather than assertive, with a smooth clean-woody drydown that lingers as a discreet fixative.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid. Yellowish or brownish if improperly stored.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Powerful earthy-spicy, warm and woody odor, remotely reminiscent of certain types of Oakmoss extract.
Has been suggested for use in artificial Oakmoss bases. Its spicy character falls very well in line with the Oakmoss odor and may be emphasized by addition of true spice materials to complete a fixative base of mossy-spicy type, at times very useful in men’s fragrances as a fixative.
Produced from Resorcinol and iso-Butylene followed by Methylation of the phenol groups.
