A soft, fresh floral aroma reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley and hyacinth with a light citrus-peel lift. Dimethyl phenyl carbinol (2-phenyl-2-propanol) has a mild, slightly waxy floral character with faint green nuances that gives an airy, watery-floral effect in blends.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Crystalline, translucent mass, or white crystals, or slightly viscous, colorless liquid, solidifying in the cold.
Rosy-woody odor, somewhat fattier than that of Phenylethyl alcohol, and with a pleasant green-woody undertone. Overall drier and less floral than D.M.P.E.C. and much less green than Methyl phenyl carbinol.
Interesting for woody tones in Rose bases, as a variation for Muguet and Lilac. It blends well with Ionones and Cedarwood derivatives for such purposes.
Produced by Grignard reaction on Acetone with Phenyl Magnesium bromide in Ether.
