Arctander gives some good indications of its useage: “very widely used in perfumery, only restricted because of its poor stability in alkali and in the presence of amines. certain fragrance types may contain well over 10% of this aldehyde, while a few percent or less can introduce satisfactory effects in other types. it is an excellent companion to the sharper aldehydes, will round them off and reduce their pungency.”
