An intense, narcotic animalic-floral material — dirty white-floral facets recalling jasmine and narcissus indoles, with a distinctly fecal, barnyard undertone typical of para-cresyl esters. Softer and more wearable than para-cresol itself, with a subtle creamy-fruity nuance from the isovalerate group emerging on dry-down.AI · claude-opus-4-7
