Luebke, William tgsc, (2009) At 100.00 %. citrus gardenia grapefruit burnt autumn leaves vetiver
General comment Adds sparkle and bloom to most compounds. Grapefruit, rhubarb, vetivert, green, woody
Arcadi Boix Camps, writing in 2009, when it was still a captive, tells us that it is “chemically related to Symrise’s Hydrocitronitrile but it smells totally different. It is extraordinarily citrussy-grapefruitlike with a torrent of freshness within its molecule.” Citrus-grapefruit, fruity-rhubarb, woody, green, vetivert
