A light, ethereal aliphatic ether with a fresh, mildly fatty-green character. Diffuse and airy on top with a slightly waxy, cucumber-melon nuance underneath. Volatile and short-lived, more of a lift-and-fade note than a defined odor.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Tart-green, fresh-foliage-like odor, resembling aldehydic-green odors. The odor has been described as resembling that of freshly crushed berries of mountain ash.
This ether has found a little use in perfumery as a modifier in fresh-green notes, particularly in topnote compositions for herbaceous or green-floral fragrance types. It blends favourably with Lavender, Bayberry-notes, Fougeres, etc. and it can be blended into Apple-type bases or compositions. It has the advantage of being quite powerful and stable in soap or powders, but it requires solid fixation.
Produced from n-Heptylchloride plus Sodium methoxide in Methanol solution.
