Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Peculiar green-floral, rather dry, mossy, almost leather-like odor (not phenolic, but sweet-leather, cured skins) overall milder than Dimethyl benzyl carbinylacetate.
This tertiary alcohol is used in perfume compositions, partly for delicate floral fragrance types, partly for green-mossy or Oriental types. It blends excellently with Oakmoss and Vetiver, but also forms soft and natural-green floral notes with Heliotropine, Anisylacetate etc. in Lilac or Lindenblossom. It is an excellent blender/background note for Honeysuckle.
Produced by Grignard type synthesis from Benzyl magnesium bromide plus Methyl ethyl ketone.
