Modification of Scents by Addition of p-Tolylmethanol

[0490] p-Tolylmethanol (pTM) was added in small amounts of from 0.1 to 1 wt.-percent to various primary fragrances with balsamic or leathery notes. The resulting scent modification was determined by a panel of 5 experienced perfumers. The results are presented in Table 1.

[0492] Evaluation took place in 10% ethanol. Compared to the fragrance composition without pTM the new fragrance blend is much more harmonized. The Caramel facet is stronger and the presence of pTM makes it more Cappuccino-like. The Pyrazine part is well balanced and not anymore dominating.
