According to arctander: “this ester finds considerable use in perfumes, where it may lend pleasant and natural freshness to delicate florals (muguet, lilac, narcisse, etc.) and participate in creating true-to-nature, foliage-green topnotes in other fragrance types. the ester is most likely to supersede the less stable and less natural smelling alkyl acetylenic esters, slowly being abandoned in modem perfumery.”
IFF: Intensely green, freshly cut grass, slightly fruity
