I thought this was already known to be a blend of compounds with ethyl trans-cinnamate [1] among them; I'll have to read up on it. For a Workshop on Synthetic Organic Chemistry in college, my class teammates and I had to come up with a process to synthesize and "commercialize" that particular compound. We jokingly made a hand cream that had the possible side effect of attracting a swarm of female moths.
