A mild, oily-waxy ester with a soft fatty character and faint fruity nuance reminiscent of coconut-like or slightly citrusy background. Low-key and diffusive, more of a textural material than a bold odorant.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Mild winey-brandy-like odor reminiscent of the odor of 'tail fractions from rectification of Fusel oil', yet much milder. Remotely reminiscent of Cognac oil.
Suggested for use in perfume compositions. Traces of this ester may add a certain 'mellowness' to perfumes of herbaceous type, and it can occasionally be used for floral notes to add the desirable oily-winey-creamy note as for instance displayed in good Ylang Extra.
The ester is, to the author’s knowledge, not used in flavor compositions, although it might well contribute interesting aroma to Rum and Brandy flavor imitations.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Heptanol with Decanoic acid (Capric acid) under azeotropic conditions.
