Very mild, earthy-root-like, mossy, mildew-like or slightly fungal odor. Some observers find the odor reminiscent of Parsnip.
The very peculiar and not very attractive odor of this ester limits its use to that of a trace or small component in certain woody or mossy-woody odor types as a modifier for Oakmoss products, Vetiver, etc.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Hexanol with Undecylic acid under azeotropic conditions
