Balsamic-herbaceous, warm odor of moderate tenacity.
This relatively rare ester finds some use in perfumery as a modifier in Ambre, Geranium, Fougére and various herbaceous or non-floral fragrance types. Its warm undertones blend very well with Clary Sage, Lavender, Oakmoss, etc. and its balsamic character lends natural nuances to otherwise rough or harsh-chemical odors.
Produced from Crotyl chloride plus Sodium benzoate, or: from Crotyl alcohol with Benzoic acid by azeotropic type esterification.
