„Ribes sanguineum was introduced into cultivation by 19th century Scottish botanist David Douglas. It and its varieties and cultivars are popular garden shrubs, valued for their brightly colored and scented flowers in early spring, and birds and habitat support.“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribes_sanguineum
Main components of the flower scent, found by vacuum headspace analysis, were β-pinene (43.7%), α-pinene (36.6%), sabinene (6.4%), limonene (4.2%), camphene (1.1%) and myrcene (1.0%). GC-O revealed 4-methoxy-2-methyl-2-mercaptobutane (sulfurous, catty, cassis-like) as character impact compound. Green notes are added by some trace compounds like (Z)-3-hexenol, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxy pyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxy pyrazine, (2E,6Z)-nona-2,6-dienal, (2E,6Z)-nona-2,6-dienol, and (E,E)-α-farnesene (0.3%).
