The note unfolds as a soft, ethereal embrace, possessing a unique duality that is both impeccably clean and subtly primal. It is often described as a 'skin scent' – warm, diffuse, and intimately human, yet without any overt animalic pungency. Its texture is like a whisper of cashmere or freshly laundered linen, incredibly smooth and velvety, often with a slight metallic or mineralic undertone that lends it a sophisticated crispness. Intensity is typically moderate to subtle, designed to meld with and enhance the wearer's natural aroma rather than dominate. It projects gently, creating an intimate aura, and boasts exceptional longevity, clinging to the skin for hours, sometimes days, evolving into a warmer, more entrenched 'your skin but better' aroma. While fundamentally a base note, anchoring and extending other accords, its diffuse nature allows it to subtly permeate the heart, softening edges and adding a lingering depth.
