why do S+carvone (caraway oil) and R-carvone (spearamint oil) have the same IR spectra. I know they are enantiomers/mirror images but why the same IR

What does an IR spectrum tell you? It tells you functional groups and what chains are attached. It can't tell you the 3-D arrangement, at least not in most cases that I know of.
