The note of Bracken is a complex olfactive tapestry, weaving together impressions of damp earth, verdant foliage, and a subtle, almost mineralic coolness. It presents as a deeply green, somewhat rustic and herbaceous aroma, often possessing a slightly bitter or phenolic edge that speaks of raw, untamed nature. Its initial impression can be sharp and dewy, like the first breath of a forest after rain, with hints of sap and broken stems. As it evolves, it settles into a more rooty, earthy core, often hinting at the rich, loamy scent of forest floor, decay, and moss-covered stones. It lacks the brightness of a citrus or the overt sweetness of a floral; instead, it offers a grounded, slightly melancholic naturalism. Projection is typically moderate, allowing it to envelop rather than announce, while its longevity can range from a persistent heart note to a lingering base note, especially when blended with more tenacious elements. It's rarely a singular top note, usually emerging in the heart and lending its characteristic depth as the fragrance dries down.
