The "... pleasant white-floral flower scent is characterized by aspects reminescent of tuberose and gardenia. For the latter aspects, cis-4-methyldecano-5-lactone is responsible." \\
The headspace contained 26.2% of (4S,5S)-4-methyldecano-5-lactone (named 'aerangis lactone', a 4-methyl dihydro jasmine lactone also present in Aerangis confusa flower scent), and [[http://gakui.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/data/h20/124672/124672a.pdf|methyl (S)-3-methyloctanoate]] (flowery, 1.9%) as olfactory important principles. Other (main) constituents were germacrene D (33.0%), benzyl acetate (17.3%), phenylethyl acetate (4.7%), and p-methylanisole (2.8%). \\
