4-ISOPROPYL-1-METHYL-2-PROPENYLBENZENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

2-prop-1-enyl-p-cymene has been suggested for use in modem fragrances as a modifier to the very popular “green” theme with Oakmoss, Galbanum, Vetiver, Styrallyl esters, etc., to create fresh and natural-woody nuances, dry-green notes in Men’s fragrances, Citms colognes, “Tabac” notes, etc. It is also an excellent additive in new variations of the “leather” theme. It is interesting to note that the Asparagus note is also present in the light fractions of freshly produced Vetiver oil. These light fractions have, at times, been used to imitate the Asparagus odour.
