How it behaves

Olfactory profile

Family
sweet
Note tendency
Middle
Descriptors
minty

A fresh, minty-herbal aromatic with a cool camphoraceous edge, reminiscent of pennyroyal and spearmint with a slightly peppery, terpenic facet. Drier and less sweet than pure menthol materials, with a green herbal lift that fades toward a subtle warm-spicy nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Pale yellowish oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Its odor is powerful, diffusive, sweeter than that of the Piperitenone, but equally minty, penetrating and of moderate tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

It would have potential as a perfume material if new chemical syntheses produced this material at a reasonable price and in sizeable volume.
