MOLECULE
Named in 1 VERIFIED claim about 1 Atlas entry: Sage.
Major component · the claim says “dominated by”
Essential oil of wild and cultivated sage was dominated by cis-thujone, camphor and 1,8-cineole, in proportions that differed between wild and cultivated plants.
Scope: Salvia officinalis oils from one study; composition, not odour potency, and growing conditions such as shading shift the proportions. CLM-SAGE-001 ↗
The names used for this molecule resolve to more than one PubChem record (cis-thujone: 249286, 91456, 12304612), so SmellBook records no identifier. The molecule is named only as the claim names it.
Checked against PubChem and Wikidata on 2026-10-02 (identifier check run 37063263965). Every name SmellBook uses must resolve to the same single PubChem compound.
SmellBook lists a molecule only where a VERIFIED claim names it, in the role and scope that claim states. A molecule reported in a smell's evidence is not the whole smell: most smells come from many compounds together, and the studies measured particular samples, such as one cultivar, an essential oil or a cooked product.
