Саке

Clean rice, soft fruit esters, and a faint lactic sweetness. Sake smells like a polished grain dissolved in spring water -- transparent, floral-fruity, quietly complex.

У парфумерії
Sake is a transparent, fruity-floral top-to-heart modifier. It provides a Japanese cultural reference through clean rice, fruit esters (ethyl caproate, isoamyl acetate), and a faint lactic softness. Less boozy than wine, more fruity than vodka, with a mineral transparency. The note works in minimalist, clean, and Japanese-aesthetic compositions alongside yuzu, hinoki, green tea, and rice-steam accords.
