The note unfolds with an immediate, piercing flash of verdant sharpness, akin to snapping the stem of a fresh, emerald plant or tearing a succulent leaf. It possesses an intensely green, almost metallic initial burst, which quickly evolves into a more complex, rooty earthiness, damp and rich, as if one has just unearthed it from moist soil. There's a persistent resinous core, a balsamic undercurrent that gives it tenacity and depth, preventing it from being purely ephemeral. Its texture is at once sappy and slightly waxy, with a dry, almost dusty finish that reveals its botanical origin. Projection is often quite bold and diffusive in its opening, then settles into a more grounded, tenacious aura. It functions brilliantly as a top or heart note, offering a profound green opening that bridges seamlessly into floral or woody accords, holding its character for many hours.
