A soft, mildly sweet floral aromachemical with a rosy-honeyed character and a light balsamic-green facet. Rounded and slightly powdery, it acts as a bridge between fresh top notes and floral hearts, adding gentle body without sharpness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Uses in perfumery

This ester is not one of the more interesting of the series. It is rarely available commercially, and it does not offer any unique notes, or effects which cannot be obtained from other, readily available, low-cost perfume chemicals.

Production

Produced by acetylation of phenylcellosolve.
