Odor

Odor of fatty alcohol, but sweet floral, less fatty and more floral than n-Octanol.

Flavor

The taste is bitter in concentrations above 40 ppm.

Uses in perfumery

This ether-ester is rarely offered commercially, and it is not likely to become a common perfumery item.

Production

Produced from (several methods) e.g. from n-Octanol plus Methyl diazoacetate.
