The taste is sweet, herbaceous-fruity, slightly warm and with a floral nuance.
This ester finds some use in perfumery for variation effects in rose and violet, and as a modifier for the chamomile topnote theme. It blends very well in violet and cyclamen notes.
Traces of the ester are used in flavor compositions for imitation apricot, coconut, orange, peach, pineapple, plum, etc.
