A concentrated grape-like note with a distinctive Concord grape and neroli-orange blossom character. Rich, fruity-floral with a slightly musky, powdery undertone; reminiscent of methyl anthranilate but softer, deeper and more diffusive. Signature 'grape candy' facet with a subtle animalic warmth.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Almost colorless or pale straw-colored liquid. Solidifies in the cold to an opaque crystalline mass or white crystals.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. The diluted solutions show a beautiful blue fluorescence.

Odor

Fruity-winey, Grape-like and Brandy-like odor, rather heavy-sweet and slightly animal, with good tenacity. The overall picture bears some resemblance to Cognac oil and Ambrette-seed absolute with a fruit-jam-like undertone.

Flavor

Sweet, heavy-fruity Grape-like and Wild Strawberry-like taste with a pungent floral undertone.

Uses in perfumery

It could find use in exotic floral compositions and in variations of Citrus colognes, in novel topnote complexes with green-winey odorants, etc.

Uses in flavor

The material could find many uses in flavor compositions, not only in variations of Strawberry, but also Grape and 'Tutti-frutti', wine, Cognac, etc.

Production

1) from ortho-Hydroxybenzoic acid by Methylation followed by Nitration, Reduction, Aminomethylation and Esterification. 2) from 8-Hydroxyquinoline by Methylation, Oxidation, De-formylation and Esterification. 3) by isolation from the essential oil of Nigella Damascena which contains about 8 to 11% of subject material.
