2,3 or 10-mercaptopinane
I've wanted to offer this for a few years now and have kept some as personal stock, but this is quite a rare material. I wanted to be sure that I had a good reliable supply for offering it properly.
If you think about it, pine smells are almost diametrically opposed to sulfurous smells - both in real life and in various aroma wheels devised (without much scientific forethought) throughout the decades.
Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why pine smells are often used to counteract sulphurous malodors, for example in bathroom contexts...who knows.
But anyway, that aside, the peculiarity of this raw material is that it manages to combine both aspects in a quite balanced but also unexpected way. The result is, of course, mango: a fruit famously also combining both woody, terpenic, and pine facets (a slew of terpinolene alpha/beta pinene, camphene and so on) with an intense sulfurousness, thanks to some cassis molecules (cassis pentanone among them).
Away from mango and without that as context it can sound a little bit...volcanic? Slightly sulphurous but also hot.
