Colorless, viscous liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Heavy and intensely sweet, floral-herbaceous and very tenacious odor of Honey-Gardenia type. The Honey notes may be conspicuous by their absence in the pure material, but they will usually appear upon dilution or in active use of this ester. The floral notes are most perceptible in the undiluted material.
This ester is not often found on the perfume material shelves, and rarely offered commercially. It is still used in certain specialties and older bases, but hardly used in modern creations. Its odor value and overall character are not sufficiently unusual to justify continued use of this ester.
Produced by catalytic hydrogenation of Benzoyl carbinyl phenylacetate.
