Colorless oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Peculiar sweet-piney, floral-incense-like, citrusy odor of moderate tenacity. Less herbaceous, more floral-fruity than the n-valerate.
Heavy-fruity, sweet taste in concentrations near 20 ppm, but rather piney-fruity at higher levels.
This ester finds limited use in perfume compositions of the Chypre, Fougére, Bruyére, Tabac, Opopanax, Lavender and various herbaceous types. It blends very well with the Olibanum-Opopanax-Labdanum-Styrax resinoids, and with the heavier herbaceous materials.
It is also used to a minor extent in flavor compositions, in various fruit complexes, and in Tobacco flavorings.
Produced by azeotropic type esterification of Terpineol with iso-Valeric acid.
