It finds limited use in flavor compositions as a trace component in imitation Honey, Apple, Rose, and in Citrus complexes, Berry flavors and fruit blends.

Uses in perfumery

The title alcohol is an excellent fond in Sweet Pea, Muguet, Honeysuckle, Peony, etc., and a fine companion to Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Perubalsam, Tolubalsam, Clary Sage products, Ylang-Ylang, etc.

Uses in flavor

The concentration used is normally only 1 to 10 ppm in the finished product.

Production

1) from Geranylacetone plus Acetylene, followed by reduction of the acetylenic linkage (Hoffmann-laRoche process). 2) by isolation from Cabreuva oil or other essential oils.
