Sweet, floral & woody

Yellow to greenish yellow, and very viscous
Uses:
In perfumery especially in soap perfumes where its outstanding fixative value accompanies its delicate, woody-floral, slightly green notes.
In amounts of 0.5 percent up to 2.0 percent in a soap perfume, this material can make a difference between a flat, common or nondescript odor, and a radiant, natural, deep rich and intriguingly interesting fragrance of unusual tenacity and stability in soap.
Caution:
External use only.
Do not use undiluted on the skin.
Keep away from children & pets.
Store away from heat & light.
