Appearance

Colorless or pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Warm-herbaceous, sweet odor with a rosy-woody undertone and good tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

This ester should have good possibilities in artificial Geranium and in general in perfumes of herbaceous-floral, sweet character. It blends excellently with woody odors, with Clary Sage and Lavender, etc. It is furthermore an excellent extender for Zdravetz oil in the rare cases where this oil is used and its notes should be modified.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of Geraniol with 2-Butenoic acid using azeotropic conditions.
