Rich, heady white-floral absolute with a warm honeyed sweetness and a distinct indolic, slightly animalic undertone. Opens with fresh green-orange petal facets, then deepens into a waxy, narcotic bitter-orange blossom character. Signature is the tension between luminous floral brightness and a dark, almost fecal indolic base.AI · claude-opus-4-7
