Appearance

Colorless or very pale straw-colored oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful and very diffusive, sweet-oily, almost creamy-buttery, yet green and vegetable-like odor of moderate to poor tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

This alcohol has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, and it could undoubtedly produce interesting nuances - if applied with utmost discretion and experience - in many topnote compositions including Citrus, floral, aldehydic, etc. It blends very well with Ylang-Ylang and the Methylionones, and supplies attractive notes to Mandarin, Coriander and other topnote materials.
