Descriptors
herbaceouswarmcamphoraceous

A powerful, fresh green-herbal ketone with a distinctive minty-camphoraceous lift and a fruity, slightly waxy nuance. Diffusive and penetrating, it reads as clean and 'top-note bright' despite sitting more in the heart, giving air and sparkle to fougère and aromatic accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
