A slow-release para-cresol ester that gives a soft, warm animalic-floral effect reminiscent of narcissus, jasmine indoles and honey without the sharp fecal bite of free para-cresol. Develops a waxy, slightly leathery nuance on drydown and acts as a fixative for white-floral and animalic accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
