Arctander has some other suggestions: “floral-green odor, fresher than that of benzylacetate, more lasting. stable in soap. suggested for use in perfumes as a modifier for benzylacetate, particularly in soap fragrances. its somewhat sharper character can at times bean advantage for the more robust job of perfuming a soap.”

Fraterworks: Benzyl acetone is an indispensable chemical for adding a fruity nuance to oud replacers or as a modifier to the much more delicate benzyl acetate. benzyl acetone is very powerful and very small amounts are perceptible in a fragrance. this material is also a key component of the scent of cocoa and the most bee-attracting chemical in many flowers.

Benzyl acetone has nuances of tobacco, cinnamon, pineapple, banana and white flowers.

Note: this product should not be confused with benzyl acetate, the common chemical used to reproduce the scent of jasmine and ylang-ylang.
