When arctander was writing the was a very new material, not yet in widespread use, he describes it as “intensely caramellic-fruity, -jam-like’ odor with some resemblance to the odor of palatone (maltol). the odor is also reminiscent of that of cooked pineapple’.” and goes on to suggest that it is likely to go on to become very useful: as so often he was correct and this is now a widely used material in fragrances.
