(-)-(1S,3S,4aR,9aS)-Magnolan "B" - was highly appreciated and found rosy, floral (geranium, magnolia), citronellyl acetate, citric-fruity, with a slight green nuance. (-)-(1S,3S,4aR,9aS)-Magnolan is the most interesting enantiomer of the diastereoisomers. It should be noted that relative configuration for this enantiomer is the same as observed for the preferred enantiomer of Floropal = (-)-(2S,4S,4aS,9bR)-2,4-dimethyl-4,4a,5,9b-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-d][1,3]dioxine Ref: Elisabetta Brenna, Claudio Fuganti and Stefano Serra, Enantioselective perception of chiral odorants, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 14, 1–42 (2003); A.

(+)-(1R,3R,4aR,9aS)-Magnolan "A" - while the odor of the individual enantiomers was not given, the odor of the racemic Magnolan "A" was described as being richer than commercial Magnolan, less plastic and more floral, but the racemic Magnolan "B" was described to be more powerful, much fresher and with an additional pleasant marine tonality, also more substantive on blotter = (+)-(2R,4R,4aS,9bR)-2,4-dimethyl-4,4a,5,9b-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-d][1,3]dioxine Commercial Magnolan is described by Haarmann & Reimer as - Floral-green, reminiscent of magnolia, peony, geranium, grapefruit and lychee, with an indolic nuance.
