Uses in perfumery :
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol can be used to create ambery and rosy accords. Interesting to give nuance to warm spices or woods. Can bring warmth to floral notes such as carnation, jasmine, narcissus, lilac...
Natural availability :
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol extraction is possible from Siam Benzoin Resinoid (and other origins), Peru Balsam Resinoid or Ceylon Cinnamon EO (and other origins).

Synthesis route :
Its synthesis can be done in two ways. The first is a catalytic hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde, obtained by synthesis or from Cassia EO. An oxo synthesis modified from styrene causes the formation of the Phenylpropyl Alcohol, but also of its positional isomer, 2-Phenylpropanol. The two isomers can be separated by a fractional distillation.
Synthesis precursor :
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol is a precursor to the synthesis of Phenyl Propyl Aldehyde by reduction and Phenyl Propyl Acid by oxidation. Its esters also have an olfactory importance.
Isomerism :
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol positional isomer, 2-Phenylpropanol, has a more green and spicy smell. The other isomer, 1-Phenylpropanol is less cinnamic and more floral.
