A softer, sweeter derivative of thymol — warm herbal-phenolic character reminiscent of thyme but with the harsh medicinal bite tamed by the propionate ester. Shows a mildly spicy, slightly balsamic undertone with a persistent herbaceous warmth.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Odor

Mild, warm-spicy, herbaceous odor of good tenacity. The odor has little similarity to that of Thymol, being absolutely non-medicinal and much milder than that of Thymol.

Uses in perfumery

It blends well with Lavandin, Rosemary, Terpineol, Amylsalicylate, etc. for such purpose.

Production

Produced from Thymol and Propionic anhydride.
