Short profile
A powerful leafy-green material with a pungent opening and a pronounced cut-grass character. Herbaceous nuances, unripe apple and tomato foliage give the profile a vegetal dimension, while an almost bitter sharpness defines its texture. The supplier describes its contribution as predominantly early and volatile, rather than documenting a sustained heart or dry-down. No staged blotter evaluation or measured projection data are provided.
Effect in a formula
Provides a forceful green opening, giving grassy and foliage compositions a sharper sense of freshness. It introduces an unripe accent into fruit accords and a brief, lively green contrast at the opening of floral structures.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- The supplier places its main olfactory contribution within the opening minutes to approximately one hour. This is a volatility-based estimate, not a measured blotter substantivity result; no test dilution or blotter protocol is specified.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Good areas of use
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- Reported to dissolve readily in both ethanol and DPG, producing clear solutions.
- Working dilution
- Use a 1% stock for compounding and a 0.1% dilution for olfactory assessment. Ethanol and DPG are the solvents listed by the supplier; evaluation in a blend is recommended.
- Appearance
- Liquid, ranging from colourless to yellowish.
