Abstract: Described are organoleptic utilities of mixtures of t-mercapto terpene isomers defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond taken further together with .alpha.-terpineol having the structure: ##STR2## .beta.-phenylethyl alcohol having the structure: ##STR3## 3-methyl-1-phenyl-pentanol-5 having the structure: ##STR4## and/or butanoyl cyclohexane derivatives defined according to the generic structure: ##STR5## wherein one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond or two of the dashed lines represent carbon-carbon double bonds but that when two of the dashed lines represent carbon-carbon double bonds, the carbon-carbon double bonds are conjugated.

Abstract: Described are mixtures of t-mercapto terpene isomers defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond taken further together with .alpha.

Abstract: Described is a process for preparing a mixture of t-mercapto terpenes defined according to the structure: ##STR1## and .alpha.-terpineol defined according to the structure: ##STR2## including the step of reacting the compound defined according to the structure: ##STR3## with an alkali metal thiocyanate defined according to the structure: ##STR4## wherein M represents alkali metal such as sodium, potassium or lithium in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The resulting product is then treated with lithium aluminum hydride followed by aqueous mineral acid to form a mixture of .alpha.-terpineol and the compound defined according to the structure: ##STR5## which mixture is useful for its organoleptic properties.
