Colorless liquid
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Fresh-piney, citrusy and somewhat herbaceous odor. Sweeter and fruitier than Terpiny acetate, the Dihydro terpinylacetate seems to be cool and warm at the same time (minty-camphoraceous, herbaceous).
This ester is used quite widely in perfumery, particularly in low-cost Lavender, Citrus, Fougeres, etc. for detergents and other household products, and in lower cost Colognes, room-sprays, etc. It constitutes an excellent blender for Linalylacetate, Dihydromyrcenol, Isobornylacetate and many other fresh-piney-fruity or citrusy base chemicals.
Produced by hydrogenation of Terpinyl acetate or by acetylation of Dihydro terpineol.
