This material melts at 28 centigrade. arctander suggests these uses: “… it is not confined exclusively to geranium and rose types, since fougeres, new mown hay and hyacinth, to mention a few, can benefit from this chemical. like many other low-cost perfume chemicals, it is often an interesting tool in the hands of a skilled perfumer with audacity and imagination and an urge to use materials in an unconventional’ way.”
