Descriptors

A soft, fresh citrus-floral material with a clean rosy-green character reminiscent of citronellol but smoother and less sharp. The ether functionality tames the aggressive lemony-rosy edge, leaving a diffusive, slightly aldehydic freshness with a mild geranium/rose facet.AI · claude-opus-4-7
