Ortho-cresol hexylether is a soft, slightly phenolic aromatic material with a floral-spicy character reminiscent of carnation and clove wrapped in a warm woody nuance. It has a rounded, slightly powdery quality that bridges spicy and floral notes without the harsh medicinal edge of raw cresols.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet, almost balsamic-herbaceous, slightly medicinal odor, resembling the odor of Salol (Phenyl salicylate).
Very rarely used in perfumery. Could find some use in heavy floral bases, Jasmin, Narcisse, Gardenia, etc. but does not offer any unusual notes or effects.
Produced from ortho-Cresol sodium-n-Hexylbromide in aqueous solution.
