A specialty combination material pairing bright lemony citral with the dense, mothball-and-jasmine funk of indole. Opens with a sharp, juicy lemon-verbena top that is quickly weighed down by a heady, almost fecal white-floral undertone, giving a naturalistic orange-blossom / neroli-petal effect. Over time the citrus burns off and the indolic animalic character dominates.AI · claude-opus-4-7
