what does this smell like? I get a very faint vanillic custard, very subtle sweet Meyer lemon. It is also diffusive. It adds an effect, like a very transparent background feeling that you'd find in jasmine. It's not a specific smell, but will make all the difference in perfumes. It's a little like a faint purple violet powdery ionone smell that lingers, hints of faint transparent purple-white jasmine that sometimes appear, a little bit of a laundry detergent smell. Will add a diffusive floral effect, like "the fourth dimension" of fragrance. Useful for creating the background feeling of honeysuckle as well.
