This ester, rarely offered commercially, is used in various floral fragrance types, often in connection with mildly spicy notes, e.g. in modern versions of the 'Blue-Grass'-theme, or as a modifier in mildly floral fragrance types, new types of Lilac, fantasy-florals, etc. It blends excellently with Clove bud oil, Cinnamic alcohol, the 'rose alcohols', Amyl-cinnamic aldehyde, etc. and it gives very interesting background to 'red Rose' type bases.
Produced from alpha-Methylcinnamic alcohol by hydrogenation followed by esterification of the alcohol in the saturated side-chain.
