Benzyl alcohol is a useful solvent due to its polarity, low toxicity, and low vapor pressure. it is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CH2OH. The benzyl group is commonly abbreviated "Bn", thus BnOH, for benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. It is a natural constituent of a variety of essential oils including jasmine, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_alcohol

∙ 11y agoBenzyl alcohol is produced naturally in many plants, fruits (such as strawberries) and some essential oils (such as ylang ylang and jasmine). As it derives from aromatic material, it has an inherently pleasant scent. You'll find it is frequently used as the preservative for intravenous medicines, as well as - of all things - photographic developer.
