The note, in its most artful interpretation, does not directly smell of raw albumen but rather evokes its ethereal *idea*: a shimmering, translucent veil of purity and quietude. It manifests as a supremely clean, almost sterile freshness, often possessing a subtle, cool, aldehydic lift that suggests air whipped to a delicate foam. There's an underlying whisper of mineralic clarity, akin to the faintest suggestion of river stones or cool, pure water, sometimes even a fleeting, soft metallic edge, like brushed silver or the pristine gleam of a freshly cleaned surface. Its texture is smooth, aqueous, and profoundly weightless, imparting a sense of space and openness within a composition. It is generally a top-to-heart note, providing an initial ethereal sparkle or a sustained, transparent luminosity, rarely a heavy presence. Projection is typically soft, a delicate aura rather than a commanding sillage, and its longevity lies in its ability to extend a sense of airy cleanliness throughout the fragrance's development.
