A large-ring ketone musk closely related to civetone but with the double bond reduced, giving a smoother, less fecal profile. Warm, radiant animalic-musky character with a soft powdery-waxy body; lacks the sharp indolic bite of natural civet, reading as a clean, skin-like musk with subtle sweetness.AI · claude-opus-4-7
