About
A small allylic ether with a honey-rose scent — used only at trace levels in perfumery. The allyl group makes it prone to forming sensitizing peroxides, so IFRA limits its use tightly.
Skin benefits
- Imparts honey-rose fragrance note
- Used at trace fragrance levels
Known concerns
- Allylic ether — known skin sensitization potential
- IFRA/EU fragrance restrictions on use levels
- Reactive double bond can form skin-sensitizing oxidation products
