The note of Capsicum, in its purest aromatic distillation, presents a remarkably crisp, verdant, and almost aqueous opening, akin to the snap of a fresh bell pepper being sliced. It possesses an immediate, clean vegetal sharpness, often with a subtle, underlying green fruitiness that is neither sweet nor cloying, but rather bright and uplifting. There's an intriguing duality; while predominantly green and watery, a faint, dry peppery warmth can sometimes emerge, especially as it settles, hinting at a culinary spice without being overtly hot or piquant. Its texture is almost crunchy in its initial impression, then smoothing to a refined, transparent greenness. It typically behaves as a top to heart note, offering a vibrant, somewhat unconventional burst that adds an unexpected edge and naturalistic realism, providing excellent projection in the initial phases, then receding gracefully into the heart where its vegetal facets can support other green or floral elements. It is rarely a base note, as its inherent volatility does not lend itself to significant longevity.
