A soft, fruity-green ester with a waxy, slightly aldehydic character reminiscent of unripe pear and rose petal. It has a clean, subtly floral facet that bridges fresh top notes into fruity-floral hearts without sharpness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Odor

Dry-oily, mildly herbal or discretely green odor, reminiscent of certain dried herbs, without being aromatic.

Uses in perfumery

The title ester finds a use in perfume compositions, mainly as part of topnote compositions in herbaceous fragrance types, Lavender, Fougeres, and in variations of Rose, Magnolia, etc. It is also quite interesting as supporting note to Mandarin, a very favored topnote item, but unfortunately very unstable.

Production

Produced by cold formylation of Undecanol.
