Rosyfolia
Note Profile
About
A Givaudan captive. Givaudan's own page calls it 'a floral, rosy, geraniol note with an elegant, fruity airiness'. It is used as an accent beside natural rose, not as a rose replacement.
Scent Profile
Floral dominates and it is specifically rosy, the geraniol kind - petal rather than jam, and all three sources lead with it. Fruity is second and every source names it: Givaudan's 'elegant, fruity airiness', Le Galion's 'fruity rose'. White_floral is third and rests on one source only, Cosmetics Business, which calls the top note muguet. Below sit a green stem trace that comes with muguet, a small citrus edge that geraniol-type materials carry, and light clean_musk, powdery and honeyed values. Those three are not named by any source. They are held low rather than zeroed because nobody stated their absence either.
