Petiole™ (Givaudan)

Working dilution
What does Petiole smell like?
Givaudan calls it green and powerful, with floral shades of hyacinth and rose and a hint of watercress, giving a natural green freshness to top notes. It is phenethyl isopropyl ether, and the useful thing about it is that the green reads as a living stem rather than the sharp cut-grass of a leaf aldehyde, so it opens a floral without the metallic bite. It lasts about a day on the blotter, which places it firmly in the top, and it is used up to 3 percent; it holds up well across soap, shampoo, fabric conditioner and antiperspirant bases where softer green naturals would simply disappear.
