The note of Chipotle Chili presents a complex, multi-faceted aroma that is primarily smoky, warm, and distinctly spicy, yet with an underlying earthy sweetness. Its initial impression is often a pungent, dry heat, reminiscent of smoldering wood and dried peppers. As it evolves, a leathery nuance emerges, adding depth and a slightly animalic, almost savory richness. It possesses a robust intensity, capable of dominating a composition if not carefully balanced. Its projection is moderate to strong, carrying a distinctive warmth. Longevity is excellent, often lingering as a persistent, warm ember in the dry-down, firmly placing it as a heart-to-base note, providing a unique anchor and a lingering, comforting heat.
