Arctander has quite a lot to say about it, here’s an extract: “it is actually an extremely useful chemical, not only because of its delicate and very versatile notes, but also, because of its fixative value and blending properties. the title alcohol is an excellent fond’ in sweet pea, muguet, honeysuckle, peony, etc,, and a fine companion to sandalwood, oakmoss, peru balsam, tolu balsam, clary sage products, ylang-ylang, etc.”
