The note bursts forth with an immediate, intensely bright and utterly vibrant quality, like sun-drenched liquid. It is primarily a top note, presenting a juicy, sweet, and effervescent aroma, remarkably faithful to the scent of a freshly peeled ripe orange. There's a delicate balance of zestiness and a comforting sugary warmth, without being cloying. Its texture in the air is light and airy, almost sparkling, yet it possesses a substantial fruitiness that prevents it from being merely thin. Projection is typically strong upon application, radiating an optimistic aura, before gracefully softening into the heart of a composition. Its longevity as a true top note is moderate, designed to provide an invigorating opening before yielding to deeper accords, though its underlying sweetness can subtly linger.
