The note unfolds with an immediate effervescence, a vibrant, slightly sharp yet intoxicating alcoholic shimmer that quickly mellows into a surprisingly complex sweetness. It presents a distinctive olfactive signature: initially a 'boozy' surge, reminiscent of a crisp, clear spirit, yet inherently sweeter, less medicinal than vodka, and more nuanced than rum. One discerns underlying vegetal greenness, a whisper of freshly cut sugarcane, earthy and slightly fibrous, mingling with subtle fruity esters – a hint of ripe banana or a faint tropical tang. As it evolves, a warm, almost caramelic or molasses-like depth emerges, suggesting the fermentation process, often carrying a slightly smoky or woody nuance, particularly if the accord hints at aged cachaça. Its projection is typically moderate to strong initially, softening to a pleasant warmth. It performs primarily as a captivating heart note, bridging the initial sparkle of citrus or green notes with deeper, more gourmand or woody bases. Its longevity is good for a 'boozy' accord, offering a lingering, exotic warmth.
