How about just making benzaldehyde from bensyl alcohol? Sure has a nice smell of Amaretto liquor  .

combining HCl or NaOH with acetone and letting it sit for a while (maybe some sunlight for good luck)
forms an oily compound, phorone or something like it, i remember long ago i had wiped some of this off on a piece of paper towel and on a hot summer
day it was drying near a window and as i woke back up again it was the most beautiful aroma ive ever come across
personally i really like the smell of resorcinol, but i believe its mostly made by extraction from exotic wood barks

Sounds like a mixture of phorone and mesityl oxide, both products of acetone self-condensation. The former has a floral smell, the latter is more
sweet.
