The note opens with a distinctively green, balsamic, and slightly sticky aroma, reminiscent of fresh, bursting tree buds in early spring. It carries an invigorating, almost peppery greenness that quickly deepens into a rich, resinous, and subtly sweet woodiness. There's an underlying damp earth quality, a hint of petrichor, and a unique, almost leathery or powdery facet that lends it a sophisticated complexity. Its texture is often described as oily and smooth, sometimes with a faint hint of bitterness that grounds its green vibrancy. Projection is moderate but persistent, often settling into a lingering, comforting woody skin scent. It typically functions as a heart or even a base note, providing a grounding, natural wood accord with significant longevity, though its initial green facets can lend a top-note impression.
