Sharp, pungent phenolic character with a distinctly animalic, horse-stable facet — reminiscent of leather, castoreum, and old barnyard notes. Has a smoky, medicinal edge that softens on dry-down into a warm, slightly sweet leather nuance. Extremely potent; used in trace amounts for leather, oud, and animalic accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
