A warm, diffusive celery-lovage character with a spicy, slightly phenolic herbal edge. Recalls the dry, savory facet of celery seed and lovage root, with a maggi-like broth quality that develops over time. Signature culinary-herbal note used in trace amounts for naturalizing celery, lovage, and umami effects.AI · claude-opus-4-7
