Spirogalbanone is pure green, and plenty of it. It smells like a freshly snapped flower stem: sharp, cool and sappy, with the clean bite of galbanum. A juicy green-pineapple facet keeps it bright and fresh rather than bitter or resinous. Use it to build a green galbanum signature that holds. Where galbanum oil and other green materials flash and fade, this one keeps its sharp, sappy freshness deep into the drydown, anchoring the green of a composition. It lends green florals and chypres a crisp, natural stem realism. Because it lingers, it doubles as a quiet fixative for greenery: add a trace under violet leaf, cis-3-hexenol or other fast green notes to stop them vanishing. Blend it with Florhydral for a fresh cut-flower, flower-shop accord. A little goes a long way, so dose with restraint.
