A soft, watery floral aromachemical reminiscent of cyclamen and lily-of-the-valley, with a fresh green-fruity nuance. Rounded and slightly creamy, it adds a delicate diffusive floralcy without sharpness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild, fruity-balsamic, sweet and tenacious odor. Overall of poor strength, almost without character or type.

Uses in perfumery

Only if it were available at a cost well below that of Cyclamal, this ester could probably become of some importance as a modifier/blender in Oriental fragrance types, Hyacinth, Narcissus, Ylang, Lily, etc.

Production

Produced by esterification of Cyclamen alcohol with Propionic acid under azeotropic conditions.
