Benzyl alcohol liquid is a very useful fixative, and it is an indispensable spice in the blending of jasmine, moonflower, ylang-ylang and other flavors. Used in the preparation of soap; daily cosmetic fragrance. But benzyl alcohol can slowly oxidize naturally, and a part of it generates benzaldehyde and benzyl ether, which makes commercial products often have almond flavor, so it is not suitable for long-term storage.
