U parfemima
Coleus is a sharp, pungent herbaceous-green modifier for the top-to-heart zone. Carvacrol (oregano-pungent), thymol (thyme-warm), and green monoterpenes. Lamiaceae family character. A hyper-realistic houseplant-garden note. Works in botanical-naturalistic and garden-themed compositions.
