arctander has quite a bit to say about it and starts by describing its odour: “very faint, sweet-herbaceous and floral odor with dry-bark-like green undertones, sometimes referred to as ‘witch-hazel-odor’. poorer grades of this ester may be responsible for odor descriptions including the terms ‘phenolic’ or ‘ink-like’ (which also refers to ‘phenolic’ in a secondary way) or ‘metallic’. pure hexyl salicylate (with no free phenolate other than the esterificd salicylic acid) has a definitely floral odor.”
