A heavy, warm balsamic-spicy material combining the clove-like character of eugenol with the sweet, cinnamic depth of cinnamate esters. Reads as a soft, powdery-spicy amber facet with resinous sweetness — much less pungent than eugenol itself, and slow to develop on the blotter.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Needle-like crystals, white or colorless.
Insoluble in water, poorly soluble in cold alcohol, soluble in hot alcohol and in most perfume oils.
Virtually odorless and tasteless when pure. However, most commercial lots show a faint balsamic-spicy odor.
Its low volatility makes it suitable as a physical fixative, but this material produces some amount of odor in compositions. It may increase the richness of Oriental, Spice or Carnation type fragrances without changing the overall odor picture. It also serves as a fixative in Cinnamon compositions where the most active ingredients are rather volatile, and in various types of Clove compositions.
Produced from Cinnamoyl chloride and Eugenol sodium.
