Can you swap one for the other?

What they have in common

They overlap on 60 flavor molecules: 30% of lemon verbena's 197. Among the shared key aromas are 2-methylbutyraldehyde (malty, chocolate) and isobutyraldehyde (malty, green). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
