Pell Wall Perfumes“Sweet-floral, spicy, balsamic, slightly phenolic, typical salicylate arctander starts by elucidating the difficulty of describing its odour: “very faint, sweet-floral, slightly balsamic odor. this ester is, according to the judgment of some people (including perfumers) absolutely odorless, while others find it ’musky’ of odor. trace impurities can greatly influence the odor of this high-boiling chemical. widely used as a blender in perfumery, and generally as a mild, floral background with an effect not unlike that of ylang-ylang (except for power and topnote). excellent in all florals, carnation, wallflower in particular.””
