The note of Arbutus, often inspired by the 'strawberry tree' (*Arbutus unedo*), presents a multifaceted olfactory experience that is both delicate and subtly complex. It opens with a fresh, slightly green nuance, reminiscent of crisp leaves and nascent buds, often carrying an ethereal, waxy-floral sweetness. This floral aspect is soft, bell-like, and gently honeyed, never cloying but rather airy and elegant. As it evolves, a unique, subtle fruitiness emerges – not the juicy, saccharine burst of common berries, but a more muted, somewhat mealy, and faintly astringent red berry quality, akin to wild berries gathered in the late autumn sun. There can be a whisper of dry, clean wood beneath, grounding the lighter elements. Its texture feels smooth, almost powdery, with a slight waxy sheen. The intensity is typically moderate to low, offering an intimate projection that invites closeness rather than demanding attention. Its longevity is moderate, fading gracefully from a delicate heart to a gentle woody-musk whisper in the base. It predominantly acts as a unique heart note, lending character, or a fleeting, intriguing top note.
