Procedure
A mixture of two chemicals: 3,5,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde (meta-cyclocitral). ##STR3## 2,4,6-trimethyl-4-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde (symmetric-iso-cyclocitral). ##STR4## Powerful, and diffusive, foliage-green, "dark" weedy and dry odor, sometimes described as "Flower-shop odor". The earthy and wet green notes are quite natural in high dilution and resemble the odor of stems from plants and flowers fresh from the soil.
