Less pungent and more stable than the parent aldehyde, with a slight anisic sweetness on dry-down.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Finds some use in perfume compositions, mainly in heavy floral bases, Gardenia, Cassie, Tuberose, etc. and occasionally in Citrusy top-notes as a modifier for the Aldehydes. Its odor is overall more refreshing than that of the parent aldehyde.
