This is one of the more interesting esters of Nerolidol with great versatility and interesting possibilities. At the present price of Nerolidol and its esters, this material can be used in almost any type of perfume with little or no cost restriction. As part of the fixative base in Bergamot type colognes, as fixative in Men's Lime fragrances, as companion to Oakmoss in novel type Fougéres, and as blender for the Methyl-ionones, it has almost endless possibilities. In Neroli bases or as an undertone in Magnolia and Peony, in lipstick perfumes with Ethyl methyl phenyl glycidate, etc. it gives the perfumer a wealth of new ideas.
Produced from Nerolidol by low-temperature esterification with iso-Butyric acid (or anhydride), e.g. by azeotropic esterification. Also via Dehydronerolidol (see Nerolidol).
