A very soft, subtle green-floral material with a mild waxy, slightly balsamic character reminiscent of fresh tea leaves and clean linen. Low odor intensity — used primarily as a fixative and diluent that lends a quiet natural-green lift to florals and green accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Faint, but pleasant and discretely fruity-acidulous odor of excellent tenacity. There is a trace of floral-balsamic note combining with the fruity note to a pleasing fragrance.

Uses in perfumery

The ester could serve as a supporting fixative in floral bases, artificial flower absolutes, etc. It will introduce a delicate, fresh note useful in Muguet types, Ylang, Jasmin, Tuberose, Rose and many other florals.

Production

Produced from Phytol and Acetic anhydride with a Pyridine type catalyst.
