Colorless, very mobile liquid.
Soluble in water, miscible with alcohol and oils. 1.2% water is soluble in Ether.
Very diffusive, sweet-ethereal odor. Actually a poor odorant, it gives impression of power by its very high vapor pressure at room temperature.
Finds very little, if any, use in perfumes or flavors. However, being a useful extraction solvent for natural perfume and flavor materials, it is often found in traces in the commercial, evaporated extracts. It is easier to remove ether from natural extracts, than it is to remove Hexane and other, more common solvents for perfume raw materials.
