"Often still known by its archaic name Benzol"
In German, that's the regular name, haha.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/benzin has also become the word for gasoline in many languages.
That would actually imply that an OH group replaced one of the hydrogens, forming an alcohol.

So Benzol is not benzyl alcohol.
Edit: this is not what I was expecting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_alcohol
That would make it phenol.
benzyl and phenyl are different
