Ortho-methoxy (likely referring to methyl anthranilate or a related ortho-methoxy aromatic) has a sweet, warm floral character reminiscent of orange blossom and neroli, with a slightly grape-like, balsamic undertone. Over time a subtle spicy-phenolic facet emerges, giving depth and a slightly narcotic quality.AI · claude-opus-4-7
