A dense, animalic indolic material recalling the darker facets of jasmine and orange blossom absolutes. Concentrated and unpleasant on its own — fecal, mothball-like, with a warm floral undertone — but in trace dosage it lends body, naturalism, and carnal warmth to white florals.AI · claude-opus-4-7
