Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Sweet-fruity and mildly balsamic odor with resemblance to Hydrocinnamic alcohol and Cinnamyl esters.

Uses in perfumery

This material is not absolutely necessary for a perfumer to have in his daily or casual work. It would only have a place on the shelf if its price would be attractive enough to allow for its use at medium or high level of concentration, as a modifier in balsamic and fruity-sweet floral fragrance types, Oriental bases, etc.

Production

Produced from Phenylpropoxyacetic acid and Ethanol by esterification.
