Fir Balsam
The note unfolds with an immediate, bracing burst of coniferous freshness, a scent that is at once sharp, green, and slightly camphoric, reminiscent of crushing verdant needles between your fingers. It possesses a distinct, clean, resinous quality, akin to the sticky sap oozing from a living tree, yet it never veers into overly sweet or cloying territory. As it evolves, the initial sharpness mellows, revealing a warmer, subtly woody, and gently balsamic heart. There's a soft smokiness, an almost leathery undertone, that can emerge in the drydown, adding depth and a comforting richness. Its texture is smooth and enveloping, rather than dusty or dry. It offers good projection initially, creating a vibrant olfactory halo, then settles closer to the skin, lingering with tenacity as a heart-to-base note, imparting a sense of grounding longevity.
