Ginkgo

The note unfolds with a distinctive verdant crispness, an almost ethereal green that is neither overtly herbaceous nor sharply grassy, but rather evokes the quiet dignity of ancient foliage. It possesses a peculiar duality: a fresh, dewy vegetal quality reminiscent of crushed leaves after a morning rain, underpinned by a subtle, almost metallic or mineralic coolness. There's an understated earthiness, a faint rooty whisper that grounds it without becoming heavy or damp. Some perceive a delicate, nutty, or papery nuance as it dries, hinting at its venerable age. Its intensity is moderate, never clamorous, offering a sophisticated transparency. It tends to behave as a bridging heart note, lending an unusual, clean green facet that can extend into the drydown, providing a unique texture rather than a dominant aroma. Projection is soft to moderate, creating an intimate aura, and longevity is respectable for a nuanced green accord, often outlasting more volatile top notes.
