Allyl salicylate could find some use in perfumery, but it does add a certain amount of hazard in that both components (acid and alcohol) are harmful to the human skin.

Allyl salicylate is producted by direct esterification of Allyl alcohol with Salicylic acid under azeotropic conditions.

Allyl salicylate is NOT listed in the American G.R.A.S. list for food chemicals, materials and additives, and it is doubtful whether this chemical will find use as a food flavor.
