A green-floral cinnamic aldehyde with a soft herbal-spicy character reminiscent of cyclamen and lily-of-the-valley crossed with a mild cinnamon leaf facet. Less sharp than cinnamic aldehyde itself, with a rounded, slightly waxy floral warmth that develops a powdery muguet nuance on dry-down.AI · claude-opus-4-7
