The note of Deerstongue, derived from the Liatris odoratissima plant, presents a complex and deeply comforting olfactory profile. Its primary characteristic is a warm, sweet, and intensely hay-like aroma, reminiscent of freshly mown fields drying under the late summer sun. This hay facet is intertwined with a distinct vanilla-like creaminess, often leaning towards an almond or marzipan sweetness, yet without being overtly gourmand. There's a subtle, dry tobacco nuance, evoking the scent of cured leaves rather than smoke, which adds a sophisticated, slightly leathery depth. It possesses a powdery, almost dusty texture, contributing to its soft, enveloping quality. The intensity is moderate to strong, offering excellent projection and remarkable longevity, firmly establishing itself as a heart or, more commonly, a base note. It evolves slowly, revealing its balsamic warmth and a faint, almost herbaceous green undertone as it settles on the skin, providing a grounding and persistent presence.
