Descriptors

A powerful floral-aldehydic material with a green, lily-of-the-valley character reminiscent of cyclamen aldehyde but with a sharper, slightly waxy edge from the chloro substitution. It reads fresh and clean up top, developing into a green muguet-floral heart with a faint metallic/ozonic nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7
