A fruity-floral ester with a soft rosy-apple character, reminiscent of styrallyl acetate but shifted toward a creamier, slightly greener facet from the isovalerate side. Gives a natural, juicy top-heart lift with a subtle petal and green-apple nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Solubility

Odor

Herbal-fruity, floral odor of Honeysuckle-Jasmin type.

Uses in perfumery

As a modifier in Narcissus, Lily, Jasmin varieties, etc. it can find some application, but most perfume laboratories do not even have the material at their disposal, and probably do not miss this ester.

Production
