The note, when interpreted in perfumery, is a conceptual accord rather than a direct extract, designed to evoke a dark, mysterious, and intoxicating floral presence. It possesses a narcotic, almost hypnotic quality, often presenting as a deep, velvety floral with a subtle bitterness or a hint of green, earthy undertones. Its texture can feel powdery and smooth, sometimes with an inky depth. The intensity is typically moderate to strong, intended to make a statement. It often opens with a fleeting, sharp green or slightly acrid edge, quickly evolving into a rich, dark floral heart that can lean towards a deep, almost jammy fruitiness (like blackcurrant or plum) or a dusty, ancient rose. Its projection is usually noticeable, creating an aura of intrigue, and its longevity is designed to be substantial, anchoring itself as a prominent heart note that lingers into the base with musky, woody, or resinous facets.
