The page notes the fact that methyl benzoate has a pleasant and potentially useful odor. Um... maybe it was our stuff in the lab, but I found the smell very unpleasant, and downright repugnant. Any other thoughts on that one?

I don't think it has much smell at all - but then I'm an organic chemist, who worked a lot with thiols, so I lost my sense of smell a long time ago.... Walkerma 05:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
