Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild and tenacious, herbal-fruity, warm odor with sweet-earthy notes.

Uses in perfumery

This ester is occasionally used in perfumery, although it is very rarely offered commercially. Its excellent tenacity and versatile odor characteristics makes it quite interesting for Chypre and modern creations as a liaison between the floral and the warm-herbaceous or woody theme. It works particularly well with Clary Sage absolute for such purposes.

Production

Produced by azeotropic esterification of phenylethyl methyl ethyl carbinol with iso-valeric acid.
