A note of diesel oil in vintage perfume

[Agonhoun]

Hi dear friends! I recently got rid of one of my rarities Knize Ten. In this perfume, there was a note of diesel oil or the smell of a railway, someone heard a note of rubber, I would characterize it as very dry birch tar. Yesterday I was presented with rare perfumes that you hardly know (but suddenly) Soviet perfume from Latvia "acorns" or Zilite. This fragrance is very beautiful, but it also has this note of machine oil. And I think I feel it in Makassar. What kind of stuff smells like that? It doesn't look like isobutyl quinoline, dihydromyrcenol or tar, just like it doesn't look like virginian cedar. What was in the vintages in strong men's fragrances?

The notes you're mentioning reminded me of the following two aroma chemicals:

Anisole

Top note CAS# 100-66-3 Manufacturer: Sigma Aldrich Odor descriptoin: chemical, gasoline, thinner, leather and phenolic nuances

Benzothiazole 10% (DPG)

Heart note CAS# 95-16-9 Manufacturer: Sigma Aldrich Odor description: rubbery-leather, latex, medical, cold

Its formula is quite usual, without cedarwood, quinolines or tar. Perhaps it is an effect of oakmoss tincture, taken as 50% in addition to main composition. These tinctures were made in pressurised ultrasonic chemical reactors. Also it has a low-grade cinnamon bark essential oil, specified as such. It wasn't a matter of economy, some other reason was behind such choice.

Oh, thank you! I never knew benzothiazole!
