Colorless mobile liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet, spicy-herbaceous, fresh and somewhat fruity odor with Bergamot-Lime character.
This ester is more stable than Myrcenyl acetate which tends to polymerize upon standing. It is not quite as powerful and does not give the same effect in a soap (perfume). But it has a different odor character, more citrusy-fresh, more interesting for modern versions of the 'Continental' style Citrus-cologne. It will also support the Lime notes in Lime or Lime-Lemon fragrances, a very modern and much demanded type in recent years (1967-68). Novel effects in Jasmin bases are also achieved with this ester.
Produced by controlled hydrogenation of Myrcenyl acetate, or by Acetylation of Dihydromyrcenol.
