Description :
4-Methylbenzyl Alcohol, another name for paracresyl alcohol, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong floral, phenolic, and animalic smell. P-cresol is the source of this aromatic alcohol, which finds extensive application in the chemical, fragrance, and cosmetic sectors. Paracresyl Alcohol is a vital ingredient in high-end fragrances, particularly in musk, leather, and animalic accords, and is well-known for its unique warm, leathery aroma. It is a valuable component of contemporary perfumery and functional fragrance formulations due to its substantial odor impact and exceptional fixative qualities.
High-end perfumes, soaps, and home fragrances commonly contain paracresyl alcohol to add warm, leathery, and floral notes. It blends wonderfully with animalic bases, patchouli, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, adding depth and longevity to compositions. See more important fragrance ingredients like Rosalva and Linalyl Formate.
Paracresyl Alcohol is used in cosmetics to make lotions, creams, and shampoos with opulent floral and oriental fragrances. In complex formulations, it helps stabilize other aroma compounds and gives off a persistent scent. Examine related ingredients for personal care, like fenchyl alcohol and octyl palmitate.
Although primarily used in perfumery, trace derivatives of Para Cresyl Alcohol are occasionally used in flavor research to mimic phenolic and smoky nuances in savory and fermented food flavor compositions. Explore related flavoring compounds like Ethyl Isovalerate and Pentanoic Acid.
Para Cresyl Alcohol is an important intermediate in the manufacture of esters, resins, and specialty chemicals. Its aromatic structure and reactive hydroxyl group make it useful in fine chemical synthesis, analytical research, and the production of fragrance intermediates.
