Name appears truncated ('para-secondary-Butyl' with no parent structure given), so this profile is a best guess. Para-sec-butyl aromatics of this class tend to smell dry, faintly woody-phenolic with a slightly camphoraceous or leathery edge, lacking sweetness and without strong diffusion.AI · claude-opus-4-7
