The note unfolds with a delicate yet tenacious presence, distinctly papery and dessicated, a whisper of what once was vibrant. It lacks the sharp verdancy or dewy freshness of living blooms, instead offering a muted, almost dusty sweetness interwoven with subtle, earthy undertones. Depending on the specific 'dried' elements, one might detect hints of hay, a whisper of camphor, or a faint, honeyed spice that emerges as the initial dryness mellows. The texture is perceived as dry, airy, and slightly brittle, often evoking the tactile sensation of crumbling petals between fingertips. Its intensity is gentle, rarely overwhelming, preferring to linger softly rather than project boldly. It evolves slowly, often settling into a powdery warmth, and exhibits excellent longevity, behaving predominantly as a heart note, extending into the base to provide a wistful, enduring floral anchor.
