This relatively rare ester finds use in perfume compositions, flower bases and certain specialties. In Rose and Jasmin, it may help introduce part of the oily-waxy 'petal'-like note, so often wanted, and just as often missing. Tuberose, Magnolia, Gardenia, Peony, Freesia, etc. may also benefit from this ester in trace amounts.
In Lavender, perhaps along with Coriander, this ester can produce very intriguing notes, and it has equally good effects upon Ylang-Ylang and Labdanum.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Decanol with iso-Butyric acid under azeotropic conditions, - or with iso-Butyric anhydride.
