- when highly diluted, it has a flowery smell
reminiscent of freshly sliced cucumbers, but in
high concentrations this is accompanied by an
unpleasant metallic subnote

(4S)-p-mentha-1,8-dien-4-ol
- the odor is considerbly stronger than its
enantiomer and is dominated by a heavy, earthy,
urinous-animal tonality reminiscent of decaying
straw in a stable, the phenolic character being
comparable to that of methyl
3,6-dimethyl-resorcylate obtained from the
essential oil of oakmoss.
