A soft fruity-floral aromachemical with a green, slightly waxy character. Nopyl butyrate has a gentle pear- and apple-like facet with muguet-adjacent floral nuances, more rounded and diffusive than sharp. Sits quietly in the heart, adding a natural fresh-fruit lift without dominating.AI · claude-opus-4-7
