The note presents as profoundly woody, with a distinctive character that is both earthy and subtly resinous, yet devoid of the sharp, turpentine-like facets often found in other conifers. It possesses a smooth, almost velvety texture in its olfactory impression, leaning towards a deep, verdant humidity rather than dry dustiness. There's an underlying greenness, like the resilient leaves of an ancient sentinel, intertwined with the mineral scent of damp stone or riverbed soil where it often thrives. Its intensity is moderate but persistent, unfolding slowly with a quiet dignity. As a fragrance element, it projects with a grounded presence, becoming an anchor in the composition. It behaves primarily as a heart to base note, offering exceptional longevity and evolving into a warm, contemplative dry-down that whispers of timelessness and rooted earth.
