The note bursts forth with an undeniable, sharp, and highly volatile synthetic intensity, often described as an "inky-sweet chemical" accord. It possesses an immediate, almost shocking clarity, clean yet undeniably artificial, with a distinctive alcoholic edge that quickly gives way to a subtle, almost plasticky fruitiness or a bright, clean solvent aroma. Its texture is smooth, slick, and slightly cool, lacking any natural warmth or roughness. It projects with considerable strength initially, a veritable olfactory exclamation mark, but typically dissipates relatively quickly, behaving as a true top note. As it evolves, the sharp edges soften into a fainter, more muted plasticky whisper, occasionally retaining a ghost of its initial fruity or solvent sweetness. It is rarely a base note, its very nature defined by its fleeting, impactful opening.
