What does Melusat smell like?
Kao describes it as fruity, flowery with an apple and wine-yeast note, and gives the descriptor triad Fruity - Apple - Green. The wine-yeast facet is what separates it from the ordinary apple esters: a slightly fermented, cidery lift under the fruit that reads as ripe rather than confected. In a formula it is a top-note apple with a floral tilt, useful where a green apple accord needs to feel fermented and rounded, and it fades quickly, so it opens a composition rather than carrying it.
