Colorless oily liquid.
Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Dry and sweet, ethereal herbaceous rose odor of moderate to poor tenacity. The rosy notes are more dry-leaf notes than truly floral notes, a fact which gives impression of potpourri rose, or the old-fashioned rose sachets.
This ester finds use in perfume compositions, including soap perfumes where it may lend warmth and pleasant dried-leaf notes to a rose or an Oriental type fragrance. It blends well with the Methylionones, Cedarwood products, Jasmin materials, Sandalwood notes, etc. and it can be used in relatively large amounts.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of Phenylethyl alcohol with 2-Methylpropenoic acid.
