How it behaves

Olfactory profile

Family
green
Note tendency

Descriptors
green

Extremely pungent, sharp sulfurous-mustard character reminiscent of horseradish, watercress and cruciferous vegetables. Powerfully diffusive and lachrymatory at strength; at extreme dilution it reads as a green, peppery-vegetal nuance useful for cress, radish or galbanum-like accents.AI · claude-opus-4-7
