A soft, mildly sweet rosy-floral note with a fresh, slightly honeyed character. Clean and rounded rather than sharp, it lends a natural rose-petal transparency and is one of the workhorse floralisers used to build rose, lilac, muguet and white-floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 1096.
Colorless oily liquid.
2% soluble in water, except for commercial grade which may be only 1.5% soluble. Soluble in Propylene glycol, miscible with alcohol and oils.
Mild and warm, rose-honey-like odor of moderate to poor tenacity. Poorer grades show earthy or pungent, more Hyacinth-like topnotes, or greener 'gassy' notes.
The taste of this alcohol is sweet and honey-rose-like at concentrations lower than 40 ppm, but tends to become unpleasantly perfumey at higher concentrations.
Phenylethylalcohol is one of the most widely used of all perfume chemicals. Its low cost, versatility and general acceptability on odor, its excellent stability are factors speaking strongly in favor of this otherwise relatively weak odorant. It is almost never 'out of place' in a composition, be it floral, balsamic, Oriental, mossy, herbaceous or 'modern-aldehydic'.
The title alcohol finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly in imitation Butter, Strawberry, Raspberry, Caramel, Honey, Melon, and in various fruit complexes.
1) from Styrene oxide by hydration. 2) from Ethylene oxide and Benzene with Aluminium chloride.
