Salicylate
The note presents as a remarkably diffusive, airy, and warm presence, often described as 'solar' or 'sun-warmed skin.' It possesses a subtle, sweet floralcy, reminiscent of carnation, ylang-ylang, or even a soft, abstract white floral, without being overtly heady. Its texture is smooth and radiant, almost like a gentle hum that expands outwards. Depending on the specific isomer, it can lean slightly balsamic, powdery, or even possess a faint, clean, medicinal-metallic edge, though this is usually sublimated within a composition. It is not typically a dominant, upfront note but rather a 'silent workhorse' that enhances diffusion and adds a luminous quality. It has moderate intensity and excellent longevity, often acting as a bridge between heart and base notes, or even as a long-lasting top-note enhancer.
