A mild, diffusive floral-rosy note with a clean geranium-like character and a soft woody undertone. Often used as a fixative and diluent for rose and geranium accords, lending lift and persistence without adding weight. Very low odor intensity on its own — mostly a smooth, transparent backdrop.AI · claude-opus-4-7
