A mild, sweet-balsamic woody material with a soft sandalwood facet layered over a faint cinnamic warmth. Very tenacious and diffuse on the drydown, acting more as a fixative and rounding agent than a headline note.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Very pale straw-colored, viscous liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Very fine, but faint, floral-balsamic odor of excellent tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

Although suggested as a base or undertone material for Muguet or other delicate floral bases, this ester has found very little use in perfumery.

Production

Produced from Santalol and Methylcinnamate, or by azeotropic esterification of Santalol and Cinnamic acid, using a Sodium naphthalene-sulfonate type catalyst.
