A soft, clean citrus-floral character reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley crossed with faded lemon peel. Less zesty than limonene itself — more of a rounded, slightly waxy floral-citrus with a fresh, mildly green undertone. Adds a natural-feeling brightness and lift to citrus and muguet accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
