How it behaves

Descriptors
minty

A soft, slightly muted citrus reminiscent of lemon and lime peel with a green, waxy edge. Less sharp and sparkling than citral itself — the hydrogenation rounds off the harsh aldehydic bite, leaving a cleaner, more stable lemony-green freshness.AI · claude-opus-4-7
