Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet-ethereal-floral, also herbal, Sandalwood odor, without the medicinal character of the natural oil, yet more woody and dry.
This ester, very rarely available commercially, has been suggested for use in perfume compositions. As a supporting note for Santalol, as an undertone in Cassie and Mimosa variations, in Chypre and Oriental fragrances (it blends very well with Geranium oil), it could find some use.
Produced by cold formylation of Santalol.
