Pell Wall Perfumes“Warm, sweet, rooty-fruity medicinal, salicylate, wintergreen, tuberose here is arctander on the odour: “pungent-sweet, fruity-rooty odor with bur- ning sensation at high concentration. as a result of the subconscious reaction in people who are regular users of candy, flavored with methylsalicylate, or dentifrice etc., the comment “minty” is often used for description of the flavor or odor of this ester. the most reliable judges for odor description are those who are not users of the item as a flavor.”
