The note unfolds as a soft, dry embrace, a finely milled powder that settles gently on the senses. It possesses an inherent starchiness, a subtle, almost imperceptible sweetness akin to raw grain, with a delicate nuttiness that is more implied than overt. Its texture is remarkably smooth, ethereal, and matte, lacking any sharp edges or overt moisture. This is a scent of quiet sustenance, humble and grounding. Its intensity is low to moderate; it rarely asserts itself as a dominant force but rather acts as a masterful textural modifier, lending an elegant, almost weightless volume to a composition. Projection is intimate, clinging close to the skin like a beloved garment, while its longevity is surprisingly steadfast, especially when married to a tenacious base. It typically resides in the heart, bridging more volatile top notes with deeper, more enduring bases, or as a whisper in the drydown, providing a unique powdery-gourmand foundation.
