Sweet-herbaceous odor with a deep floral undertone and a trace of a fruity character.
This ester has been used in floral perfume compositions of the heavy exotic character, and in Fougéres as a modifier for the conventional Salicylates. It is more powerful and volatile than Amylsalicylate, not as pungent as Methylsalicylate, but it has overall more versatility than the two.
Produced from Ethylacetoacetate plus Aceto acetaldehyde, followed by esterification with Amylalcohol.
