A floral-phenolic aroma chemical reminiscent of ylang-ylang and carnation with a subtle spicy-clove edge. The hexyl ether softens the harsh medicinal bite of para-cresol into a rounder, more diffusive floral note with hints of tropical narcotic sweetness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils, poorly soluble in propylene glycol.
Somewhat dry-metallic, green, Narcissus-like, odor, sharper than that of the ortho-ether, and less herbaceous.
Has been suggested for use in floral perfume bases, such as Lily, Jasmin, Narcissus, etc. but this ether does not seem to offer any unusual or very special notes to such creations. It is very rarely offered commercially.
Produced from para-Cresol sodium plus Hexylbromide in aqueous solution.
