This material is occasionally used in perfume compositions as a modifier in Carnation bases, where a particularly delicate and discrete Spice-note is desirable, and iso-Eugenol does not cover the full olfactory picture. However, the iso-Eugenyl ester is generally preferred over this material. It finds some use in Lilac bases where it may introduce the warm and rich undertones, often difficult to obtain.
Produced from Phenylacetyl chloride and Sodium eugenol
