Comparison of qualitative descriptor usage with Keller & Vosshall (2016). a. For each molecule (abbreviations see Table 1), the proportion in percent of using each of the 19 qualitative labels is compared between the dataset presented here as well as the dataset by Keller & Vosshall10. In total, 55 odors were suitable for comparison. The two anchor odors benzyl acetate (Benzyl) and 4-decanolide (Decan) are highlighted in the left panel. Red coloured areas indicate a higher descriptor usage by participants in the dataset of Keller & Vosshall, blue colored areas indicate higher percentage of usage in this dataset. Grey points and grey shaded areas indicate a difference smaller than 10%. b. Overall frequencies of using each descriptor in both datasets, averaged across all molecules, which overlap between the two datasets. Red indicates frequencies in the Keller dataset, blue in this dataset. The order of descriptors is sorted by frequency (from top to bottom) of descriptor usage in this dataset.
