Soybean oil is a very faint, mildly fatty and slightly nutty vegetable oil with a soft bean-like green undertone. In perfumery it is used almost exclusively as a carrier/fixative rather than for its own odor, contributing weight and slow evaporation without a distinct scent character.AI · claude-opus-4-7
