용도could find use in perfume compositions, but it is rarely mentioned as a perfume material. It introduces interesting nuances in fruity-green topnote complexes for Chypre or Aldehyde-types, and it can be used as a modifier in “Cucumber”’ odor, sometimes called for in certain cosmetic preparations. It blends excellently with Clary Sage and with the new American Mentha citrata oils (Todd # 664 in particular). In flavor compositions, this ester adds freshness and fruity-green aroma to imitation Raspbemy, Apricot, Melon, Plum, and in floral and Violet type flavors. The concentration used is normally very low, about 0.5 to 3 ppm in the finished product.
