The note is characterized by a cool, damp, and ethereal aroma. It's less of a distinct smell and more of a textural sensation, often described as "wet air" or "misty." It can evoke a subtle mineralic quality, reminiscent of damp stones or wet concrete. The projection is typically soft and diffused, creating an enveloping aura rather than a sharp presence. Its longevity depends heavily on the other notes it accompanies, but it generally fades relatively quickly, adding a fleeting top-note effect. It carries a certain weightlessness.
