At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build crisp apple and pear effects, enrich tropical-fruit lift and introduce sparkling green top notes. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • sparkling green top notes

Extraction & expression

This is a historical specialty grade whose complete designation is part of its character. In the organ it should be approached as a distinctive colour in its own right—an invitation to evaluate its period effect and creative tension.
