floralfresh

A soft, rosy-floral aroma chemical with a green, mildly citrusy freshness inherited from citronellal, rounded and smoothed by the phenylethyl acetal into a more discreet, waxy floral tone. Less sharp than free citronellal, with a rose-geranium nuance and quiet, long-lasting drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7
