A soft, dry woody-earthy note with a subtle spicy-balsamic warmth reminiscent of clove and cedar. Much quieter and rounder than its parent beta-caryophyllene, with a slightly sweet, resinous undertone that lends smoothness to woody accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Solid crystalline mass, insoluble in water.
Soluble in alcohol, miscible with most perfume oils.
Warm, earthy-mossy, spicy odor, remotely resembling that of Trimethyl cyclohexanol, slightly minty, basically woody, and of good tenacity.
Used in flavor compositions, mainly for mushroom flavors. The concentration may be about 50 ppm in the finished product.
Suggested for use in perfume compositions, where it might well act as a fixative and at the same time introduce interesting new dry notes, tobacco-like, spicy-mossy. It blends excellently with Oakmoss products, Geranium, Vetiver, and Patchouli oil.
Produced from Clove-Caryophyllene by hydration with mineral acid in the cold.
