lonone is one of the finest perfumes in existence : it has the 

 characteristic smell of violets and consists of two isomers, alpha

 identical. 



There are some perfumes which are produced by animal life, 

 such as musk, ambergris, but they have not yet been explored from a 

 chemist's point of view.
