Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Acetanisole has an anise like balsamic scent reminiscent of spicy white flowers
such as hawthorn. The odor is not particularly strong, but because it is a
solid, making a dilution of, say, 25% in DPG is practical for experimentation.
Typical use is in anise flower accords such as lilac, mimosa and acacia.
Furthermore, it is very suitable for making balsamic accords less sweet and more
floral, spicy. You usually use between 0.1% and 5% of this substance in the
fragrance composition. It combines well with other scents in the same direction.
It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products,
including soap.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Acetanisole is a solid at room temperature, consisting of white to light yellow
crystals. The purity is at least 99% and the substance has a fairly long shelf
life. The substance occurs in nature, but the synthetic version is used for use
as a fragrance. This is largely based on non-renewable fossil raw materials from
coal and oil.
