A warm, spicy-balsamic ester with the characteristic sweet cinnamic facet of cinnamyl alcohol softened by the fruity-herbaceous lift of tiglic acid. Sits between spicy and floral, with a light honeyed, slightly plummy nuance that rounds out oriental and floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless, slightly oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Very pleasant, floral-herbaceous odor, suggestive of Styrax and Peru balsams, or rather of the distillates of same. A faint, green note is perceptible in the undertones.
Its taste is pleasant, sweet and warm, quite powerful.
Suggested for use in perfume compositions. This ester could find use as a new note in 'Leather' fragrance types, as a modifier for pyrogenated Styrax, and as a good, pleasant smelling fixative for the citrusy notes usually present.
It would be an interesting item in minty dentifrice flavors.
Produced by direct esterification of Cinnamic alcohol with Tiglic acid under azeotropic conditions.
