Arctander gives some indication of the uses: “this phenolether is used in perfume compositions in very modest amounts for certain floral types, such as cananga and ylangylang, minute traces in lilac, narcissus, lily, etc. it is also useful in carnation, while somewhat higher proportions can be used in spice complexes. it is accompanied by the usual draw-backs of simple phenols – sensitivity to alkali, air, daylight, iron, etc.”
