This ester has found a little use in perfume compositions, since it produces very pleasant complex notes with Oakmoss and Labdanum, Vetiver, etc. for new variations of Hay-like or Fougére-like fragrances, or for undertones in new types of Lavender, etc.
The ester is used in flavor compositions, again partly for its nut-like effect in Hazelnut and Walnut imitation, also as a powerful undertone in fruit complexes, sometimes in wine-gum flavors, imitation Blackcurrant, etc.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of n-Propanol with Benzoic acid.
