Snapdragon

The note, when carefully crafted into an accord, reveals a multifaceted floral experience that is both green and subtly spicy, with an underlying earthy sweetness. It is not overtly heady or indolic like jasmine, nor innocently sweet like lily of the valley. Instead, it presents a crisp, almost peppery greenness at its opening, reminiscent of crushed stems and damp soil just after a spring rain. This initial vivacity mellows into a delicate floral heart that suggests a quiet, unassuming beauty, evoking the scent of a sun-warmed garden flower with petals that feel soft yet firm. There can be a very faint, dry, almost dusty sweetness, akin to pollen, which prevents it from becoming solely aquatic or sharp. Its projection is typically moderate, leaning towards a gentle sillage that whispers rather than shouts. Longevity is usually moderate, allowing it to shine as a unique heart note, often contributing to a broader garden accord or providing a distinctive floral 'snap' to the composition.
