A soft, warm balsamic-floral material with a sweet, slightly waxy body reminiscent of ylang and cinnamic esters. Smooth and diffusive rather than sharp, it adds a rounded creamy floral fixative character with subtle powdery nuances.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless or pale straw-colored, viscous liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils, practically insoluble in Propylene glycol.
Mild, floral-green, somewhat bark-like odor with a woody-earthy undertone, remotely reminiscent of Hyacinth.
The ester could find some use in Hyacinth and Lilac bases as a fixative and modifier.
The ester finds a little use in flavor compositions. Again, it is interesting to note that the effects for which it is used, are actually effects deriving from decomposition: Cherry, Bitter-almond-Apricot, etc. all depend upon the Benzaldehyde-like note emanating from the ester when it is decomposing. Traces of the ester are also used in various Berry and Grape flavor types.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Heptanol with Cinnamic acid under azeotropic conditions.
