The aroma of the note is deeply woody, dry, and almost austere, quite distinct from the milky greenness of the fig leaf or the sweet lactonic warmth of the fruit. It presents a robust, textured scent, reminiscent of weathered timber and sun-baked earth. There's an initial sharp, resinous edge that quickly softens into a persistent, slightly bitter woodiness, carrying subtle undertones of a dry, papery quality and a hint of dusty spice. Its intensity is moderate, projecting a quiet strength rather than a loud declaration. It behaves predominantly as a heart or robust base note, anchoring lighter elements and providing a long-lasting, grounding foundation. Its texture, if translated to scent, feels rough, ancient, and resilient.
