Heavy-fruity, delicately woody-herbaceous odor of excellent tenacity.
The ester is occasionally used in imitation apple flavor as a fixative, but even for this purpose, the material is practically obsolete.
This ester is very rarely offered commercially, and its use in perfumery is very limited. Occasionally, its fixative value and delicate blend of sweet-woody and root-like, herbaceous notes are utilized in a Chypre or 'tabac' type fragrance.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of Santalol with 1-Valeric acid.
