Aldehydic

The 2-deoxy derivatives were known to be more aldehydic in character and this was reflected in the higher M_G values.

Here the characteristic aldehydic note is almost missing from the aldehyde, though this may be due partly to the protective influence of the side chain.

The aldehydic top notes contain suggestions of bergamot, lemon, peach and coriander and give way to a heart based principally on rose, jasmine and orris.
