How it behaves

Note tendency
Base
Descriptors
sweet

A soft, diffusive woody-ambery material with a green-floral facet reminiscent of dilute cassis or magnolia over a mossy background. Long-lasting and rounded, it lends volume and a natural woody-amber halo similar in role to Iso E Super but greener and more floral.AI · claude-opus-4-7
