A light, fresh citrus-peel odor reminiscent of orange and lemon rind, with a slightly turpentine-like hydrocarbon edge. The racemic form lacks the pronounced sweet-orange character of d-limonene or the piney-lemon nuance of l-limonene, sitting between the two as a generic bright citrus terpene that flashes off quickly.AI · claude-opus-4-7
