BENZYL ALCOHOL – delicate, floral and slightly balsamic note with hints of pale rose, green almond and phenolic nuances

A delicate, sweet, floral, rose-like, fruity fragrance with chemical undertones. Very soft, almost neutral, uncharacteristic, slightly almond-like and naphthalene-like, phenolic, balsamic, smooth, with a light almond note.
Benzyl alcohol is present in many GC analyses of flowers and herbs and appears to act as a natural fixative and blending agent in floral perfumes. Similarly, it can be used in fragrance creation. It is a high-purity flavoring agent. When benzyl alcohol takes on a strong almond flavor, this is due to the formation of benzaldehyde. If this occurs, do not use it and purchase fresh.
