OCTYL CINNAMATE has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, and it has occasionally

such as "Shamilar” types, where Castoreum,
Opopanax and heavy-sweet wood odors are
connected to rich, sweet florals with a strong
emphasis upon balsamic fixative notes, also
including Vanillin. | [Preparation]
By azeotropic esterification of n-Octanol with Cinnamic acid. Also by alcohol
