Descriptors
greenfresh

A fresh, clean floral-green note with muguet (lily-of-the-valley) character and a mild citrus-rosy facet. Softer and more diffusive than citronellal itself, with the acetal masking the sharp aldehyde edge to give a smoother, longer-lasting floral freshness.AI · claude-opus-4-7
