The note unfolds with an initial surge of bracing, crystalline saltiness, immediately transporting one to the edge of a windswept, cold ocean. This isn't merely a salty accord; it possesses a distinct metallic tang, almost like the scent of an ancient copper coin, intertwined with a subtle, yet profound, mineralic earthiness reminiscent of wet river stones or crushed sea shells. Beneath this bracing marine façade lies an unexpected, creamy richness – a nuanced fatty quality that speaks of delicate, briny spheres bursting on the palate, rather than a heavy oiliness. It has a slight iodine whisper, clean and sharp, without being overtly "fishy." The projection is often moderate, designed to intrigue rather than overpower, and its longevity is surprisingly persistent, clinging to the skin as a unique, almost skin-like base note, evolving from its initial sharp salinity to a more intimate, mineral-rich warmth. It behaves less as a top note and more as an anchoring heart or a lingering, evocative base, adding unusual depth and a sophisticated edge.
