How it behaves

Note tendency
Top
Descriptors
greenearthymetallic

A mild fusel-alcohol note reminiscent of higher amyl/hexyl alcohols — slightly oily and fermented with a faint green, winey nuance. In isolation it reads as a soft, natural-smelling alcoholic top with only mild character; more of a modifier than a standalone note.AI · claude-opus-4-7
