Descriptors

A punchy green-fruity aromachemical with a distinctive unripe pear and violet-leaf character. There's a waxy, slightly fatty undertone reminiscent of pear skin and freshly cut stems, with a subtle aldehydic lift. Very diffusive and recognizable even at trace levels.AI · claude-opus-4-7
