Taytonn ASCC“Almond, balsamic, herbal/ herbaceous, light, oily, sweet”
Pell Wall Perfumes“Mild, solvent, balsamic arctander suggests some wider uses: “a classic fixative-blender and solvent in perfumes. also a modifier in heavier florals, oriental type fragrances, etc., tuberose, yiang- ylang, lily, gardenia, etc. largely substituted by benzyl salicylate when a faint odor is desirable. as a solvent for nitromusks, benzyl benzoate cannot compete with dlethyl phthalate in cost, and the practise of keeping nitromusks in solution on the perfumers shelf is, in the author’s opinion, outdated.””
