A soft, oily-balsamic ester with a sweet floral-fruity character reminiscent of cinnamon tinctured with apricot and jasmine. The cinnamic edge is muted and warm rather than spicy-sharp, drying down to a mild waxy sweetness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sappy-green, slightly woody-earthy, but overall sweet floral-balsamic, slightly fruity odor, reminiscent of Hyacinth-foliage or Iris-foliage.
This ester is interesting for certain applications in perfumery. It forms an intermediate or 'liaison' between the dry-green notes of Galbanum and the heavy-sweet notes of an Ionone-Patchouli base, a theme not uncommon in perfumery. Apart from giving 'life' to a Hyacinth, it may give freshness to many fragrances rich in Ionones which tend to produce heavy notes.
The ester finds, to the author’s knowledge, little, if any, application in flavors.
Produced by direct esterification of Cinnamic alcohol with Heptanoic acid under azeotropic conditions.
