The note, derived from Cumaru wood, presents a profoundly warm, enveloping, and complex aroma. It is distinctly woody, but not dry or splintery; rather, it possesses a smooth, almost creamy texture, often described as having a polished quality. Its initial impression is one of rich warmth, quickly evolving to reveal multifaceted undertones of sweet vanilla, toasted almond, and a subtle hint of spicy cinnamon or clove. There can also be a delicate, almost powdery tobacco leaf facet, or a whisper of caramelised sugar. Its intensity is moderate to strong, projecting a comforting aura without being overwhelming. It settles deeply into the skin, offering exceptional longevity, and functions almost exclusively as a foundational base note, anchoring lighter elements and providing a lasting, sophisticated dry-down.
