Arcadi boix camps, writing in 2009, describes this material as “quite similar to alpha-damascone, but with a more striking metallic fruity nuance and less “cinnamic” impact. i say cinnamic because many shades of cinnamic alcohol are found in the diverse damascones … i like this chemical, although it is less linear and less clean than the other isomers. however it is quite useful because of its striking fruity impact” .
