The title acetal has been suggested for use in perfume compositions for its refreshing and discrete notes, blending equally well with floral and herbaceous or citrusy fragrance types. It is particularly suitable for topnote compositions in connection with Bergamot or Neroli, and it has a very pleasant effect upon Cyclamen aldehyde.
Produced from (several methods) e. g. from Acetaldehyde diethylacetal (= “Acetal”) with Citronellol.
