Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Bland-fruity, also mildly herbaceous odor of considerable tenacity.
Its taste is sweet-fruity, Peach-like at concentrations below 5 ppm, and its minimum perceptible level is far below 1 ppm.
It blends very well with Oakmoss for bases in modern perfumes, and it gives excellent fixation when supported by Sandalwood, macrocyclic musks, Vetiver, etc.
It could undoubtedly find use as a modifier in Peach and Apricot imitation, and as a fixative for heavy-fruity blends.
Produced from Octyl malonic ester and Ethylene oxide.
