Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is primarily a taste modifier, not a true fragrance material — it is an intensely sweet compound (roughly 1000x sucrose) derived from bitter orange with a lingering licorice-menthol aftertaste. On a blotter it is nearly odorless; its 'sweetness' is a gustatory rather than olfactory property, though trace citrus-peel and slightly bitter facets can be detected on close sniffing.AI · claude-opus-4-7
