A powerful, penetrating green-floral aroma chemical with a distinctive violet-leaf character, oily-waxy body, and an earthy, almost mushroomy undertone. In dilution it opens a lush, dewy green facet reminiscent of freshly-cut violet leaves and cucumber skin, softening into a slightly heavy, herbaceous floralcy.AI · claude-opus-4-7
