ABSTRACT = {Three unifloral honeys were identified by the pronounced presence of specific compounds by means of sensorial analysis and SPME-GC-MS. Smoky and resinous (‘propolis’) odors characterized unifloral “quillay” (<i>Quillaja saponaria</i>) honey. “Corontillo” (<i>Escallonia pulverulenta</i>) honey was characterized by caramel and vanillin aromas, and “ulmo” (<i>Eucryphia cordifolia</i>) honey by having an anise scent with a floral jasmine note. Safranal was a useful marker for “corontillo” honey. Isophorone and cetoisophorone were the distinctive compounds of unifloral “ulmo” honey. In “quillay” honeys, megastigmatrienone, 2-<i>p</i>-hydroxyphenylalcohol and minor quantities of β-pinene and linalool oxide were correlated with their sensory properties such as resinous.},
