A polymerized form of limonene with a faded, resin-like citrus character. Much softer and less bright than d-limonene itself, showing a dry woody-terpenic backbone with mild orange-peel echoes. Often functions more as a diluent/fixative for citrus notes than as a strong odor contributor.AI · claude-opus-4-7
