Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Pungent and irritating, but in dilution rather pleasant, minty-Tansy-like, resinous-balsamic odor of moderate to poor tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

The author believes that this material does not have any highly desirable olfactory effect or other perfumery value except what could be achieved by means of safe and conventional materials.

Production

Produced by isolation from the essential oil of Umbellularia californica (California laurel) in which the ketone is present at the rate of 20 to 60%.
