A fresh, fruity-floral aromachemical with a juicy, slightly tropical character reminiscent of green apple, pear and gardenia petals. Bright and lift-giving in the top-heart, with a soft rosy-green undertone that keeps it from feeling too candied.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Fresh-floral, slightly green and fruity odor of fair to good tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

This ester has some of the virtues of the more popular Dimethyl benzyl carbinyl acetate, but it gives interesting variation to that theme, or it can be used separately for more unusual floral creation, such as Freesia, Gardenia, Lily, Narcissus, etc. The ester blends very well with the conventional floral materials such as Benzylacetate, Tolyl acetate, Amyl-cinnamic aldehyde, Heliotropine, Phenylethyl esters, etc.

Production

Produced by azeotropic type esterification of the carbinol with acetic acid and a catalyst.
