Descriptors

A softened, rounded clove-eugenol character with a sweet balsamic warmth. Less sharp and phenolic than eugenol itself, with a slightly powdery, almost anisic-woody nuance from the acetal group. Retains the clove/carnation spicy heart but is smoother and more diffusive.AI · claude-opus-4-7
