Beta-Selinene is a sesquiterpene with a dry, woody-herbal character reminiscent of celery seed and vetiver undertones. It has a subtle green, slightly peppery facet and a soft earthy warmth that lingers quietly on the blotter. In isolation it reads as a natural, understated woody-vegetal note rather than a bright or sweet material.AI · claude-opus-4-7
