Canthoxal (p-methoxy-α-methylhydrocinnamaldehyde) has a soft floral-aldehydic character with a distinct anisic, hawthorn-like sweetness. Mimosa and heliotrope facets emerge, with a gentle powdery, slightly spicy undertone reminiscent of cyclamen aldehyde but warmer and more anise-tinged.AI · claude-opus-4-7
