## Odor

It has a mild odor described as "very faint, sweet-floral, slightly balsamic" by some, while others smell nothing at all. There is debate whether the odour is caused solely by impurities or a genetic predisposition.[2] It occurs naturally in a variety of plants and plant extracts and is widely used in blends of fragrance materials.[3]

There is some evidence that people may become sensitized to this material[4] and as a result, there is a restriction standard concerning the use of this material in fragrances by the International Fragrance Association.[5]

It is used as a solvent for crystalline synthetic musks and as a component and fixative in floral perfumes such as carnation, jasmine, lilac, and wallflower.[6]
