Appearance

Colorless crystalline mass or semi-liquid mass of crystals in a viscous liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful floral-woody and tenacious odor for the trans-isomer. The floral tones are not entirely sweet, but warm and pleasant. The cis-isomer has a camphoraceous-minty, powerful and tenacious odor. Somewhat sweet but the camphoraceous tone makes it seem rather dry.

Uses in perfumery

Used in perfume compositions varying from woody-musky to heavy sweet floral, and its powerful lift is utilized in soap perfumes.

Production

Produced by hydrogenation of para-tertiary-Butyl-ortho-cresol.
