Dead Leaves
The note unfolds with a profound, multi-layered olfactive narrative, immediately evoking the crisp, dry rustle underfoot of fallen foliage, followed by a deeper, more humid earthiness. Initially, it presents as dry, slightly sharp, and almost brittle, with faint aldehydic whispers reminiscent of the immediate moment of decay. This quickly softens into a damp, loamy richness, carrying distinct undertones of moist soil, decaying wood, and an intriguing mushroom-like mustiness, often described as 'humus-like.' There can be a subtle, almost sweet, fermentation quality, akin to fruit decomposing slowly, or a fainter, wistful smokiness like distant bonfires. Its texture is both crunchy and velvety-soft, moving from airy dryness to a more substantial, almost rooty earthiness. Intensity can range from a delicate, atmospheric whisper to a dense, forest floor embrace. As a note, it typically behaves as a heart to base anchor, providing grounding depth and longevity. Its projection is often intimate to moderate, drawing one closer rather than announcing itself boldly.
