Decalepis Hamiltonii

The note of Decalepis Hamiltonii, often referred to as Indian Sarsaparilla or Nannari, presents a deeply complex and utterly unique olfactory profile. It opens with a distinctive sweet, rooty earthiness, immediately evoking images of moist soil and ancient woodlands. Beneath this initial impression, a creamy, almost lactonic quality emerges, reminiscent of condensed milk or fenugreek, yet without being overtly foody. There's a subtle, leathery undertone, a soft, supple suede that adds sophistication. Hints of vanilla bean and a fleeting whisper of maple syrup or caramel can be detected, offering a comforting warmth. Its texture is smooth, dense, and slightly powdery upon a deeper inhalation. As a heart-to-base note, it possesses a moderate intensity, providing a grounding anchor with a delicate, evolving projection that is both subtle and persistent. Its longevity is excellent, unfolding slowly over many hours, becoming richer and more integrated with the skin, leaving a lingering, sweet, balsamic warmth. It lacks sharp edges, instead presenting a rounded, embracing presence.
