(+)-(6R,7R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,5,5,6,7,8,8-heptamethyl-2-naphthalenecarbaldehyde - develops a fragrance of a less earthy character, with a woody side and the strength of which is clearly inferior to the (-)-(6S,7S)-isomer Ref: Fehr, et. al., United States Patent 5,521,151, May 28, 1996

(-)-(6S,7S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,5,5,6,7,8,8-heptamethyl-2-naphthalenecarbaldehyde - possesses the best developed odor properties. Its musky, markedly earthy, slightly amber character is particularly powerful. It possesses a note which distinguishes itself from that of the (+)-(6R,7R) isomer Threshold = 2.4 ppb Ref: Fehr, et. al., United States Patent 5,521,151, May 28, 1996
