The note bursts forth with an immediate, bracing freshness, utterly invigorating and piercingly green. It possesses a cool, almost icy quality that tingles the nostrils and the back of the throat, much like a sip of very cold water on a hot day. The initial sharpness is tempered by a distinct herbaceous sweetness, less sugary and more akin to the natural sugars found in verdant foliage, with a subtle, underlying peppery nuance that adds complexity rather than heat. It feels crisp, clean, and remarkably transparent, yet with a surprising underlying body that prevents it from being fleeting. Its projection is typically strong and effervescent upon application, asserting its presence before gradually softening into a more gentle, sustained freshness. It primarily functions as a vibrant top note, lending an immediate uplift, but with a tenacity that allows it to linger into the heart of a composition, infusing it with its characteristic coolness and lively greenness for a moderate duration.
