From the literature
TGSC, suppliers, and others, quoted as filed.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1995)“Sweet vanilla creamy fruity caramel chocolate”
Givaudan“Vanilla, sweet, fruity isobutavan has a sweet, and creamy vanillic character reminiscent of white chocolate, cream soda and with a soft apricot feeling. isobutavan is much less discolourising than vanillin or ethyl vanillin and can be used at levels up to 2% in for example white soap fragrances before discolouration is a problem. it is less powdery than vanillin and has a more creamy "thickening" effect.”
Perfumery Laboratory“Sweet, vanilla, creamy with notes of white chocolate and caramel”
