The Uses of N-HEXYL METHYL ETHER
Apart from very occasional application in certain fresh topnotes, N-Hexyl methyl ether finds mostly its place in masking odors and industrial fragrances. Its peculiar type of green note has tempted some perfumers to use it in Jasmin and other florals, but it seems that competition from many new "green" materials is far too strong.
