Chemical Properties

Citronellyl Isovalerate has a heavy, rosy, herbal odor and is used in oriental perfume compositions among others.

Chemical Properties

Colorless, slightly oily liquid. B.P. 253℃. Sp.Gr. 0.88. Insoluble in water, poorly soluble in Propylene glycol, soluble in alcohol, miscible with most perfume and flavor oils. Warm-rosy, herbaceous, chamomile-like, tobacco-like and very tenacious odor.

Uses

Citronellyl isovalerate is useful in perfume compositions as a modifier for lower esters of Citronellol, and as a more herbaceous Rose-note in Oriental or Chypre type fragrances, Tabac-notes, etc. Also an interesting item in honey-like notes. It blends excellently with Civet products and emphasizes the pleasant notes in the Civet, subdueing the more unpleasant notes. Surprisingly stable in soap and even in Talcum powder. Occasionally used in flavor compositions, mainly for variations in Strawberry and Raspberry types. It is particularly useful in the “Wild Strawberry” type of flavor, along with Butyrates and Caproates.
