Although this chemical has been suggested as a fragrance material, it is the author’s opinion that it has little or no mission in creative perfumery. It has no unusual notes or olfactory virtues to offer, but it may behave like a fixative with a mild, blending odor effect in woody or herbaceous fragrance types, or it may be an experimental modifier for the Amylcinnamic aldehyde in a Jasmin base.
Produced by condensation of Furfural and Decanal in mild alkaline solution.
