A protected acetal form of phenylacetaldehyde stabilised with citronellol and phenylethyl alcohol — smells of soft green hyacinth and rosy petals with a honeyed floral facet. Less sharp and more stable than free phenylacetaldehyde, giving a rounded, slightly waxy floral character that develops a gentle rose-geranium nuance over time.AI · claude-opus-4-7
