A green-floral aromachemical with a distinctive narcissus and hyacinth character, underpinned by a phenolic, slightly hay-like earthiness. Softer and rounder than pure para-cresyl derivatives — the acetal form tames the barnyard edge into a leafy, damp-floral facet with a mildly sweet backdrop.AI · claude-opus-4-7
