(-)-(1R,3R,6S,7S,8S)-patchoulol - a strong, typical patchouli scent with an earthy, slightly camphoraceous, powdery cellar note which was indistinguishable from natural patchoulol; deep woody like patchouli oil = (-)-(1R,3R,6S,7S,8S)-2,2,6,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.03,8]undecan-3-ol Also known as (-)-(1R,3S,4S,7R,8S)-4,8,11,11-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.03,8 ]undecan-7-ol Ref: F.

(+)-(1S,3S,6R,7R,8R)-patchoulol - much weaker, less characteristic, nearly indefinable and by no means reminiscent of patchouli. It might have a beta-santalol odour with a green undertone; woody with underlying green notes = (+)-(1S,3S,6R,7R,8R)-2,2,6,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.03,8]undecan-3-ol Also known as (+)-(1S,3R,4R,7S,8R)-4,8,11,11-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.03,8 ]undecan-7-ol Ref: F.
