The note unfolds with a profound, almost primal pungency, a sharp, dry heat that immediately commands attention. It is intensely herbaceous, reminiscent of concentrated wild thyme or oregano, yet deeper, more arid, with an unmistakable underlying camphoraceous lift that provides a bracing clarity. There's a subtle, caraway-like complexity and a faint medicinal whisper, creating a profile that is both rustic and refined. Texturally, it evokes a dry, slightly coarse powder, almost resinous in its tenacity, yet with an oily core that allows for excellent diffusion. Its initial projection is bold and assertive, acting as a bridge between the sharpest top notes and the more enduring heart. As it evolves, it mellows into a persistent, warm, woody-spicy heart, slowly transforming into a tenacious, dry, and slightly smoky whisper on the skin, demonstrating exceptional longevity as a sturdy heart-to-base anchor.
