The note presents a complex olfactory tapestry, immediately evoking a crisp, dry earthiness that can sometimes lean subtly smoky, like a distant whisper of a leaf bonfire. It possesses a textural quality, almost dusty or brittle, conjuring the sensation of crushing sun-baked foliage underfoot. There's an inherent woody backbone, often with hints of petrichor if the composition intends to suggest dampness, but primarily it's arid and crackling. Its intensity is moderate, rarely overwhelming, preferring to weave itself into the background, providing depth and a sense of natural authenticity. It projects moderately, creating a subtle aura rather than a bold statement. Longevity is typically good, functioning often as a heart note that lingers, slowly evolving to reveal more of its dry, woody, and slightly sweet decay facets, eventually settling into a grounding base alongside mosses or vetiver. It’s never 'juicy' or 'effervescent', but rather solemn and sturdy.
