A dense, narcotic white-floral chemical with a strong narcissus and hyacinth character, edged with a fecal-animalic undertone typical of the para-cresyl esters. Sweeter, softer and less overtly barnyard than para-cresyl acetate, with a honeyed, slightly waxy floral warmth that lingers.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Pronounced Lily-Narcissus-like odor, somewhat pungent and intense, but in proper dilution pleasant floral-oily-green Lily-Ylang-like.
Finds some use in fruit flavor compositions.
Useful in perfume compositions at concentrations around 0.5°, when well blended with milder floral components and sweet fixatives. Also as a modifier for para-Cresyl caprylate in waxy-herbaceous floral bases.
The concentration in the finished product is usually about 0.05 up to 8 ppm in rare cases.
Produced from para-Cresol and iso-Butyric acid using Phosphoroxychloride as a catalyst.
