Arctander has this to say about it: “dry-tarry, medicinal-leathery odor, conventionally described as “phenolic. useful as a floralizing companion to indole in sharp-exotic flower fragrances, lily (bermuda-lily, etc.), narcisse, etc. concentration in the perfume composition will usually be about 0.1%, sometimes slightly higher, mostly lower than 0.1%.”
