Descriptors

Intensely pungent, sulfurous and alliaceous — the unmistakable sharp, eye-watering aroma of crushed raw garlic with an oily, fatty undertone. Retains a lingering savory, cooked-onion facet as it dries down. Almost never used in fine fragrance; more common in flavor work.AI · claude-opus-4-7
