According to arctander it is: “very mild, sweet-oily, slightly floral odor with a trace of hcrbaccous undertones. the odor becomes considerably more floral and lively when the material is incorporated with more volatile material in a composition… this aidehyde finds considerable use in perfume formulations for its rich floral and pleasant oily-herbaccous odor-contribution to jasmin bases, gardenia, tuberose, magnolia, etc. and in general as part of a floral theme in other fragrance types.”
