METHYL OCTIN CARBONATE REPLACER IFF – green, floral and metallic note with hints of lily of the valley, wet leaves and ozone, violet leaves and mimosa

A strong yet delicate scent of violet and mimosa leaves. It adds a green floral note to gardenia, tuberose, rose, and violet varieties. The scent of greenery, violet leaves, and mimosa is more delicate and less pungent than methylheptin carbonate. Its persistence is moderate to weak.

When highly diluted, it has a pleasant fruity and vegetal flavor, reminiscent of an unripe banana, a fresh peach, and cucumber peel.

This ether is used in perfume compositions due to its green-floral effect in notes of gardenia, tuberose, violet, rose, etc. To function satisfactorily, it requires a significant “structure” of carrier materials and long-lasting fixation.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to use it as the only green component in a composition with opening notes.

It pairs well with fruity notes, even with heavy floral or balsamic notes, if diluted correctly with equally or less volatile components.

The essential oil is used in the food industry in small quantities (from 0.02 to 10 parts per million in the finished product) in the production of imitations of peaches, bananas, cucumbers, melons, gooseberries and other berries, fruit complexes, etc.
