The note presents a strikingly crisp, verdant olfactory profile, a vivid snapshot of life at the garden's edge before the bloom fully asserts its dominion. It carries a sharp, almost biting greenness, reminiscent of freshly crushed foliage, with an aqueous, dewy transparency that suggests morning mist clinging to a tender stalk. There's often a subtle, underlying earthiness, a hint of mineral dust on a leaf's surface, sometimes punctuated by a delicate metallic tang that speaks of chlorophyll and raw nature. Unlike the lush headiness of the flower, this note is lean, clean, and invigorating. Its intensity is typically moderate, providing an initial burst of freshness that gradually softens, settling into the heart where it lends a vital, living green backdrop. Projection is usually moderate, extending an inviting, natural aura, while its longevity is respectable, serving as a bridge between sparkling top notes and richer floral or woody accords. It functions primarily as a top or heart note, providing lift and a naturalistic 'zing' to compositions.
