This ketone finds some use in perfumery as a component of sweet-floral or honey-like bases. It blends excellently with the phenylacetates, heliotropine, the ionones, hydroxycitronellal and many cinnamates and phenylpropionates. It gives interesting effects with valerates of aromatic alcohols (benzyl-, phenylethyl-, etc.), and with phenylglycidic esters.
Produced from hydratropaldehyde by condensation with acetone followed by hydrogenation of the condensation product.
