A rich, narcotic white-floral aroma chemical with a honeyed, faintly animalic warmth. Recalls narcissus, ylang and hyacinth with a phenolic-tarry facet from the cresyl portion, softened by the fruity-herbal nuance of tiglic acid. Diffusive and heady at trace levels, becoming leathery and slightly fecal if overdosed.AI · claude-opus-4-7
