[edit] censored material
This contribution was censored without proper motivation. I do not waste my time on censors so like it or not.
Skatole has been identified in a blossoming plant of a member of the species Ziziphus mauritania by a spectroscopic technique called GC-MS. A fruity odor was linked to vanillin 1. This particular plant blossoms 1 week in every year and during this week it attracts flies and dung beetles from 30 meters away.
It was probably removed because your point has less to do with Skatole and more to do with Ziziphus mauritania.
