The note presents a profoundly smoky, tarry, and phenolic character, often described as akin to burning wood, creosote, or well-worn leather. It possesses a dry, earthy undertone, sometimes with subtle medicinal or rooty facets. Its intensity is high, projecting strongly initially before settling into a deep, resonant hum. It evolves slowly, maintaining its core smoky identity while nuances of dry wood or damp earth may emerge. As a base note, it provides significant depth, structure, and exceptional longevity, clinging to the skin or fabric for extended periods. It is not typically used as a top or heart note due to its low volatility and dominant profile.
The fragrance evokes a primal, ritualistic, and mysterious atmosphere. Inspired by 'Aquelarre' (Witches' Sabbath), it suggests a gathering around a fire in a remote, natural setting. The combination of smoke, leather, oud, and boozy notes creates a dark, powerful, and untamed feeling, celebrating shadow-selves and wild passions.
