This ester, rarely offered commercially, has found a little use in perfume compositions and it introduces very attractive notes in modern 'tabac' fragrance types, particularly with Oakmoss, Vetiver, Lavandin absolute, Clove bud oil, Bergamot, Civet, etc. For special effects in certain types of Rose, it supplies absolutely unique undertones, and it can be used at relatively high concentration without causing unpleasant single notes.
Produced by direct esterification of 2-Buten-1-ol with Phenylacetic acid under azeotropic conditions.
