Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Warm, oily-herbaceous, winey odor of moderate tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

The softness of this odor makes the material immediately attractive, even before one can decide where to use it. It appears to have the ability to mellow and soften fragrances with high amounts of harsh-smelling chemicals. Its odor type falls within the general picture of Lavender, Chamomile and Clary Sage, but the ester can be used with advantage even in floral types, particularly in conjunction with Ylang-Ylang, Geranium, etc.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of 2-Butenyl alcohol with Heptanoic acid under azeotropic conditions.
