The note unfolds as a remarkably abstract and conceptual aroma, immediately evoking a sense of ancient dryness, a cool, clean mineral dust, stark and desaturated. Its texture is akin to finely ground stone or sun-bleached wood, incredibly porous yet firm, with a palpable lack of moisture. There is an initial crispness, a subtle whisper of petrichor on dry earth, followed by a profound stillness. It presents as a low-intensity, almost subliminal presence, a 'ghost note' that is felt more than overtly smelled. Projection is typically intimate, designed to cling close to the skin like an aura of antiquity. Longevity is exceptional, settling into a deep, enduring base, functioning primarily as a foundational element, an olfactory skeleton upon which other notes are draped. It often carries a faint, almost metallic tang, reminiscent of iron-rich soil or a forgotten artifact, underpinned by a clean, earthy warmth that is more about memory than immediate sensation.
