fattytea

A soft, delicate floral with a green tea-like nuance and a subtle waxy-petal character. Camellia flowers themselves are only faintly scented, so most 'camellia' materials are reconstructions or CO2/absolute extractions yielding a light, transparent floral with hints of white tea and fresh greenery.AI · claude-opus-4-7
