About
A synthetic fragrance compound with a floral-woody scent — flagged as a potential skin sensitizer.

GHS classifications include H317 (may cause allergic skin reaction) at 21.9% of data sources, and H411 (toxic to aquatic life). The skin sensitization potential classifies it as a known allergen. No EU Annex III listing currently, but sensitization data warrants caution. Used at restricted levels in fine fragrance.
