The note unfolds with a profound, multi-faceted complexity, immediately asserting its dominant woody character. It is deep, resinous, and often boasts a pronounced animalic, almost 'barnyard' or fecal nuance, yet this raw wildness is frequently balanced by cleaner, mineralic undertones. Depending on the specific distillation and region within Borneo, one might detect subtle hints of green herbs, a dry earthiness, or even surprising berry-like or fruit facets that lend a fleeting sweetness. Its texture is thick and oily, almost syrupy, projecting an immense intensity that can initially be challenging for the uninitiated. As it evolves, it mellows into a warm, deeply persistent woody-leathery skin scent. Its projection is typically strong, asserting its presence with authority, and its longevity is exceptional, making it a quintessential base note that anchors and deepens an entire composition, lingering for many hours, if not days, on fabric.
