A mild, sweet floral-balsamic material with soft hyacinth and green facets over a faintly powdery, rosy backdrop. Used as a diluent-like modifier that lends smoothness and lift to floral accords without adding sharpness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless viscous liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Pleasant, somewhat heavy, Gardenia-Hyacinth-Lily type odor, more earthy than fruity, and with damp, not truly fresh, greenness.

Uses in perfumery

The subject ester is used for Muguet, Lily, Jasmin, Hyacinth, Gardenia and certain other floral fragrance types, and the concentration can be relatively high, since the odor power of this ester is not very great. It performs also well with the Eugenol derivatives in Carnation.

Production

Produced from Styrene glycol and Acetic anhydride.
