Bright, lemony-herbal top note with a soft green freshness and a delicate floral-honeyed undertone. True Melissa is more subtle and rounded than lemongrass or citronella — lemony but with a warm, slightly grassy, slightly balsamic character. Fades quickly, leaving a soft herbaceous whisper.AI · claude-opus-4-7
