Appearance

Pale yellowish or straw-colored oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful floral-fruity odor, overall less fruity and more floral than the average commercial type of iso-Jasmone. Moderate tenacity, and a somewhat green topnote seems to accompany the odor for most of the duration, except for the extreme dryout notes which are more floral.

Flavor

Bitter floral taste in concentrations down to a few ppm.

Uses in perfumery

It has countless uses in perfumery: not only in Jasmin bases and perfumes, but virtually in all floral and many herbaceous or non-floral types as well. In combination with Undecanolide or other lasting fruity notes, it may produce new and interesting topnotes, or it can be twisted towards a greener, even a Citrus-like note with the proper additives.

Production

Produced by cyclization of Dodecenoic acid.
