Short profile
A rose-led floral base with a fresh soap character, accented by green notes and a restrained fruity nuance. Its overall texture is airy rather than dense, with a waxy, aldehydic dimension. Iris and powdery-metallic accents add another aspect to its clean freshness. The supplier describes considerable odour strength but does not document projection or a timed opening-to-dry-down progression on blotter.
Effect in a formula
Provides a ready-balanced floral centre with rose and soap-like freshness, keeping the composition light and transparent. It can give floral accords a waxy aldehydic finish, particularly in rose, iris and classical floral structures. White-floral compositions and contemporary clean fragrances are also identified as suitable applications.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 1–15% of the fragrance concentrate as the usual range, with higher proportions possible when the base defines the main theme. Separately, its laboratory notes suggest 0.5–5% in the finished fragrance; this is a different dosing basis and should not be confused with concentrate percentages. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
