The note, often referring to Blackcurrant Buds (Bourgeons de Cassis), presents a complex and multifaceted olfactory profile. It is intensely green, sharp, and herbaceous at first, with a distinct 'catty' or urinous undertone that is surprisingly captivating to many, attributed to specific sulfur compounds. This animalic facet is balanced by a tart, juicy, almost metallic fruitiness reminiscent of unripe blackcurrants or cranberries. It can possess subtle woody and earthy nuances, sometimes a hint of smoky warmth. Its texture is almost effervescent yet simultaneously dense and rooted. It projects with considerable strength, particularly in its initial burst, then settles into a more refined, lingering green-fruity heart. Typically functions as a top-to-heart note, providing an immediate, invigorating lift that evolves into a sophisticated green backbone, offering excellent longevity for its position in the olfactory pyramid.
