When a perfume is said to include Cashmere Wood, it means the typical smell of the odorant Cashmeran. As described in the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists from Switzerland and Germany have introduced new members in this exclusive and precious family of scents, by using a novel synthetic strategy to synthesize enantiomerically pure products. Olfactory analysis of these compounds provided insight into the structural requirements for Cashmeran odorants.
