Most likely referring to neryl acetate — a fresh, sweet floral-fruity note with a rosy, neroli-like character and a soft pear-citrus facet. Bright and clean on the opening, softening into a gentle floral heart with a mild green edge.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Refreshing, sweet-rosy or fruity-herbaceous odor with emphasis on the fruity notes, and less floral than the lower esters of Nerol.

Flavor

The subject material is used in flavor compositions for sweetness in Citrus flavors and fruit complexes.

Uses in perfumery

This ester is very rarely offered commercially, but has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, where it blends very well with items such as Clary Sage and Lavender, giving depth and background, tenacity and sweetness.

Production

Produced by azeotropic esterification of Nerol with iso-Butyric acid or by ordinary esterification with iso-Butyric anhydride.
