White Nettle Flower

The note presents a fascinating duality; initially, it unfurls with a crisp, vivid greenness, akin to freshly crushed leaves but without the typical sharp, astringent bite. Instead, this verdant opening is quickly softened by an ethereal, almost luminous floralcy, reminiscent of the most delicate lily-of-the-valley or a very subtle, dew-kissed jasmine. It possesses an underlying herbaceous earthiness, a slightly peppery or mineralic nuance that speaks of wild meadows and damp soil, yet this is exquisitely balanced by a surprising, almost innocent sweetness. Its texture is dewy and airy, with an invigorating transparency. The intensity is moderate, never overwhelming, but distinctive. It behaves as a transitionary note, starting with a bright, somewhat sharp green top that quickly evolves into a tender, subtly sweet heart, lingering with a unique, clean, 'white floral' herbaceousness. Projection is intimate to moderate, and its longevity, while not that of a deep base note, is respectable for a floral-green accord, offering a captivating journey from wild verdure to delicate bloom.
