The note unfolds with a distinctively dry, savory, and herbaceous character, deeply rooted in the earth yet possessing a subtle peppery warmth. Unlike the fresh, watery crispness of the celery stalk, this is the concentrated essence of the dried seed: a rich, aromatic spice. Its initial impression is robustly green and slightly bitter, quickly evolving into a warm, almost umami-like spiciness that is both grounding and intriguing. It carries a dry, somewhat grainy texture in the olfactory sense, lending an almost tactile quality to a composition. As a heart or even a base note, it possesses moderate intensity and good tenacity, imparting a unique, sustained herbal anchor without being overtly dominant. Its projection is typically intimate to moderate, creating a subtle aura of warmth and natural complexity rather than an overwhelming sillage. It tends to behave as a sophisticated blending agent, enhancing and deepening green, woody, or spicy accords, rather than serving as a fleeting top note.
