Arctander gives some very useful clues on how best to use it: “it is conventionally classified as a gardenia-green material, but its odor is typical only of certain stages of maturity of the gardenia flower, and only of certain species. however, the ester finds use in numerous fragrance types,mostly those including fruity and green notes, and it plays an important role in top-note complexes including oakmoss, galbanum, allyl ionone, citrus oils, etc. in spite of its apparent harshness, it can be applied at comparatively high concentration, often exceeding 2 or 3%. if benzylacetate and citrus oils are present, the level of the title ester can be still higher. care should be taken in evaluating the effect of this material too quickly, it will characteristically ‘mellow-in’ the perfume composition very perceptibly after 24 hours, often more in several days or so. smaller amounts are used in lilac, hyacinth, tuberose, muguet, etc.”
