A soft, oily-waxy material with a subtle fatty-floral character reminiscent of rose petals and unripe fruit skin. Mild and diffusive rather than sharp, it lends a smooth, slightly greasy roundness to floral and fruity accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild, woody-fruity odor, earthy-green and with sweet-soil-like undertones, remotely resembling of notes in Vetiverol or Vetiveryl acetate.

Uses in perfumery

Very rarely offered commercially, this ester has found a little use in perfume compositions as a modifier for herbaceous and woody notes in non-floral fragrance types.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of n-Heptanol with Undecylenic acid under azeotropic conditions.
