Mild, green-fruity, somewhat floral, Honeysuckle-type odor, also resembling Lindenblossom and Lily. | [Uses in Perfume]
Finds a little use in perfumery as a modifier
for the Acetate, and in itself for its fresher,
greener note and greater power.
Dodecyl formate imparts quite interesting and pleasant
notes in Tuberose and Narcissus, Lily, Hyacinth bases, etc. and it blends excellently with
the conventional alifatic aldehydes. |
