(R)-(+)-Phenoxanol is 'reminiscent of racemic Phenoxanol, but weaker. Its rose character is harsher, fattier and more metallic compared to the racemate and its antipod'. Odour threshold: 12.5 ng/L air = (R)-(+)-Mefrosol = (R)-(+)-Phenylhexanol = (R)-(+)-3-Methyl-5-phenyl-1-pentanol IFF describes the commercial (racemic) material 'Phenoxanol' as "Floral, Rose, Geranium; Diffusive, fresh, floral, rose absolute type. Unusually long lasting. Very economical in use to give the expensive rose oil/absolute effect." Givaudan describes the commercial (racemic) material as "Floral, Fresh, Rosy; Mefrosol is a diffusive, fresh, rosy floral chemical. It is used to give freshness and volume in both floral and citrus fragrances." Firmenich describes the commercial (racemic) material 'Phenylhexanol' as "A transparent floral rose and muguet note with a slight green aspect."

(S)-(-)-Phenoxanol is ‘also reminiscent of a typical Phenoxanol note, but stronger; softer, with a more powdery rose character of pronounced floralcy with fruity facets in the direction of red fruits and rhubarb, and a fresh even slightly aquatic tonality’.
