Descriptors

An intensely sulfurous, thiol-type aromachemical with a pungent, almost repulsive character when neat that transforms on extreme dilution into a bright tropical-fruit and grapefruit rind effect. Green, catty, and slightly meaty undertones give it a distinctive blackcurrant-buchu bite.AI · claude-opus-4-7
