This ester is used to a limited extent in perfumery, but it does not seem to have achieved the same popularity as its parent carbinol. It is much less rosy, and more suitable for Hyacinth (which is much less in demand as a fragrance type), yet it is fresher and livelier overall. It blends very well with the conventional Hyacinth materials, but it is necessary to reduce or omit the more pungent items from a Hyacinth if the title material is to be used. It would be wasted if any significant amount of Phenylacetaldehyde or Hydratropic aldehyde were present.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of the carbinol with Acetic acid.
