Cinnamyl alcohol is an organic compound that is found in esterified form in storax, Balsam of Peru, and cinnamon leaves. It forms a white crystalline solid when pure, or a yellow oil when even slightly impure. It can be produced by the hydrolysis of storax.
Cinnamyl alcohol has a distinctive odour described as "sweet, balsam, hyacinth, spicy, green, powdery, cinnamic" and is used in perfumery[1] and as a deodorant.
Safety
Cinnamyl alcohol has been found to have a sensitising effect on some people[2][3] and as a result is the subject of a Restricted Standard issued by IFRA (International Fragrance Association).
