Odor

Mild, green-rosy odor of good tenacity. Some observers find a fruity note in this odor.

Uses in perfumery

It finds good use in soap perfumes, where its low cost and good stability make it very applicable and practical. Its odor type makes it particularly suitable for Rose fragrances, Geranium, Lavender, Pine needle and mild woody odors. It blends well with the conventional Cyclohexanol-derivatives.
