The note presents as a profound, cool earthiness, redolent of ancient, disturbed soil. It is intensely mineralic, with a damp, almost petrichor-like quality that speaks of recent rain soaking into rich loam. There's a profound sense of stillness, a cold, rooty depth that can sometimes carry a faint, almost subliminal hint of fungal growth or the slow decay of leaf litter. Its texture is simultaneously dusty and moist, conjuring images of dark, fertile ground. The initial impression is stark and arresting, immediately grounding the composition. It acts predominantly as a deep base note, clinging to the skin with impressive tenacity, providing a long-lasting anchor that subtly projects an aura of quiet contemplation. It's a scent of profound stillness, rarely effervescent, always weighted and substantial, almost velvety in its dark, grounding embrace.
Melancholic, contemplative, earthy, atmospheric, reminiscent of ancient, moss-covered graves and the scent of damp earth and stone.
