The note presents a complex olfactory tapestry, distinctly woodier and drier than its Indian counterpart, often characterized by an immediate, almost arid warmth. It offers a smooth, finely milled wood character, reminiscent of sun-baked timber and polished floorboards, yet without the overt sweetness or lactonic creaminess sometimes associated with other sandalwoods. There can be subtle nuances of leathery suede, a faint peppery spice, and even a slightly herbaceous, green earthiness at its initial impression, which quickly settles into a refined, almost dusty warmth. Its texture feels smooth, matte, and grounding. Intensity is moderate to strong, building gradually rather than projecting sharply. As a quintessential base note, its evolution is slow and stately, providing a tenacious foundation that can linger for many hours, sometimes even days, on skin or fabric. It offers excellent depth and a calming, enveloping embrace, gradually softening into a serene, meditative hum.
