A soft, mildly sweet floral-balsamic ester with a gentle woody-fruity nuance reminiscent of ylang and light balsam. Quieter and more tenacious than linalool itself, it lends a rounded, slightly powdery smoothness to floral and oriental accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Balsamic-floral, Bergamot-fruity odor of good tenacity. The odor varies considerably according to the method of production of this ester. Above description is based upon the Roche-processed material, while older methods yield esters of far greater sweetness, less tenacity and more similarity to Linalyl acetate, often with side-notes of Methylbenzoate. Peculiar, deep-sweet, fruity or fruit-preserve-like odor, mainly of Plum-type.
This ester finds some use in flavor compositions for imitation Peach, Plum, Blackcurrant and other berries, fruit complexes or Citrus flavors. The concentration in the finished product will normally be about 0.3 to 2 ppm.
An interesting material for new variations of the conventional theme in Men’s fragrances. Particularly suitable for outdoor type odors, Bruyere, woody-green, mossy-green or green-citrusy types. Also used in Oriental fragrances, in heavy florals such as Gardenia, Tuberose, Stephanotis, etc.
