The note opens with an intense, smoky, leathery blast, reminiscent of a freshly tarred road under a scorching sun. Its initial impact is sharp and penetrating, evolving into a deeper, more resinous wood smoke. The petrol aspect contributes a volatile, slightly medicinal edge that cuts through the heavier smoky elements, adding a dynamic tension. It possesses a dry, almost astringent quality, with a lingering ashy aftertaste. Expect moderate projection with impressive longevity, settling as a comforting, slightly acrid warmth on the skin.
