A soft, floral-fruity ester with a fresh lavender-like character and a gentle, slightly waxy sweetness. Reminiscent of linalyl acetate but rounder and more diffusive, with a subtle herbal-green nuance from the valerate side. Adds a natural, bergamot-lavender lift to floral and fougère structures.AI · claude-opus-4-7
