The note, "Burgundy," as an olfactory concept, unfurls as a tapestry of deep, resonant sensuality. It manifests as a rich, almost tactile aroma, reminiscent of aged red wine – complex, vinous, and profoundly fruity with nuances of dark cherry, ripe plum, and crushed blackcurrant. Its initial impression is often a sophisticated tartness, quickly mellowing into a jammy, luxurious sweetness. There's an underlying earthiness, akin to damp soil after a gentle rain or the subtle mustiness of an old wine cellar, often paired with a hint of dried roses or withered autumn leaves. It possesses a full-bodied texture, velvety and somewhat tannic, yet remarkably smooth. The intensity is typically medium to strong, offering a generous projection that commands attention without being overwhelming. It behaves predominantly as a heart note, where its complex fruit and wine character develops fully, often settling into a long-lasting base with leathery, woody, or even subtle spicy undertones, lending incredible depth and longevity to a composition. It is never fleeting; rather, it lingers, a persistent whisper of opulence.
