The OR4 family, purple odors, bitter splits, and red-green splits.

There’s a perceptual aroma note, common to such aroma characters as berry, wine, grape, plum, geranium, anise, and clove, that can only be described as “purple”. It appears to make up part of the two candidate primaries referred to on this website as jammy and xyloenanthic. “Purple” smelling aroma molecules are disproportionately associated with the […]

OR2W1: A receptor for “stale” odors that also contributes to the alliaceous note.

The agonist mixtures for OR2W1 reveal a perceptual note best described as “stale”, that seems to be enhanced by the presence of OR1A1 agonists or OR2J2 agonists. 2W1 is highly sensitive to geraniol and citronellol, both of which have a certain fetid-vegetable note that’s very noticeable in the aromas of geranium oil and citronella oil, […]
