Pale yellow to olive-yellow colored, mobile liquid
Warm-woody, green-peppery, spicy odor, reminiscent of cubeb, guaiacwood, etc. with a faint resemblance to the odor of wild roses (rosa canina). The dryout is deep-floral and somewhat similar to the odor of cabreuva and araucaria oils.
The tenacity of the fragrance makes the oil interesting as a fixative in woody-floral or aldehydic-woody, modern fragrances. It blends excellently with gamma-methyl ionone, hydroxycitronellal, linalool, geranium oils, cinnamic alcohol, clove bud oil, etc.
An essential oil can be obtained from the dried fruits by steam distillation.
