                     - similar to its enantomer in description and
                     intensity; the racemate is describe as having a
                     dry, slight fruity odor reminiscent of ambergris
                     and incense with floral waxy notes (Givaudan)
                     and a strong "fatty, green, citrus odor with
                     fatty citrus taste" (Leffingwell, Flavor-Base
                     2007)
