Benzyl alcohol appears in many flower and herb gc and headspace analyses and appears to act as a natural fixative and blending agent in flower scents: it can be used in a similar way in fragrance creation. this is fragrance grade material of high purity: when benzyl alcohol develops a distinct almond note it is due to the formation of benzaldehyde if this happens discard it and buy fresh.
