The strong and attractive rosy-floral scent of wild cyclamen growing in the Alps is based on linalool (12.5%), citronellol (30.5%), nerol (1.6%), geraniol (13.9%), citronellal (0.5%), neral (0.1%), geranial (0.2%), [[http://www.takasago.com/cgi-bin/pdf/biomuguet.pdf|(E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesal]] (0.4%), [[http://www.leffingwell.com/chirality/2,3-dihydrofarnesol.htm|(E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesol]] (1.1%), (E,E)-farnesol (11.2%), and (E)-cinnamic alcohol (0.2%). "...somewhere between the scents of centifolia rose and lily of the valley. Minor amounts of decano-4-lactone, methyl citronellate, and prenyl benzoate finally give the twist to the unmistakable scent of Cyclamen purpurascens, a knowledge also applicable in the creation of fragrances." \\ | The strong and attractive rosy-floral scent of wild cyclamen growing in the Alps is based on (headspace %): Linalool (12.5%), citronellol (30.5%), nerol (1.6%), geraniol (13.9%), citronellal (0.5%), neral (0.1%), geranial (0.2%), [[http://www.takasago.com/cgi-bin/pdf/biomuguet.pdf|(E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesal]] (0.4%), [[http://www.leffingwell.com/chirality/2,3-dihydrofarnesol.htm|(E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesol]] (1.1%), (E,E)-farnesol (11.2%), and (E)-cinnamic alcohol (0.2%).
