A soft, green-floral aldehydic material with a hawthorn and hyacinth character. The p-tolualdehyde acetal form tames the sharp almond-cherry pungency of the free aldehyde, leaving a rounder, slightly powdery floral tonality with mimosa and lily nuances. It has a clean, waxy-green undertone that lends lift to muguet and hawthorn accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7
