The note unfolds with a remarkably potent and piercing green facet, reminiscent of crushed sap and freshly torn leaves, but with an underlying sharpness that borders on herbaceous bitterness. It possesses a distinct resinous warmth that develops over time, moving from an initial almost vegetal pungency to a drier, more earthy, and balsamic heart. Its texture is often perceived as dry, waxy, or even slightly dusty, yet with an oily tenacity that clings to the skin. It exhibits excellent projection in its opening, cutting through other notes with a singular clarity, eventually settling into a tenacious, grounding base. While it can introduce a composition as a sharp, invigorating top or heart note, its true character as a deeply resonant, long-lasting resin often places it firmly in the middle to base, evolving slowly to reveal subtly woody or even faintly spicy nuances.
