Rose Oxide
The note presents a remarkably sharp, almost metallic greenness, reminiscent of freshly cut rose stems or the crisp, dewy air of a garden just after a spring rain. It possesses a distinct geranium-like facet, often described as rosy-green, with a subtle, ethereal floral whisper rather than the full-bodied richness of a true rose absolute. Its intensity is piercing yet transparent, offering a clean, slightly effervescent lift. It behaves predominantly as a top to heart note, providing immediate freshness and a vibrant, almost ozonic quality that can persist for several hours, lending a "wet" or "aquatic" nuance to compositions. Its projection is often keen and immediate, cutting through other notes with a singular clarity, while its longevity, though not that of a base note, is surprisingly tenacious for its volatility, lingering as a fresh, airy echo.
