A soft floral-green aroma chemical reminiscent of hyacinth and lily-of-the-valley with a fresh, slightly waxy phenethyl-alcohol facet. Rounded and clean rather than sharp, it lends a natural leafy-floral lift to muguet and green floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume oils.
Peculiar oily-herbaceous odor, not unlike that of Amylcinnamic aldehyde, but not as tenacious, not as purely oily-herbaceous. The subject acetal has a more musty note, quite typical of many glycol acetals.
This cyclic acetal is also part of several well-known perfume specialties.
Produced from Phenylethylene glycol and Formaldehyde with water and Sulfuric acid, by heating.
