The note unfolds with a profound, almost primal earthiness, dry yet dense, redolent of rich, dark soil after a long drought. It possesses a distinct green facet, not fresh or dewy, but a dried, herbaceous green, akin to sun-baked leaves and stalks. Intertwined with this verdant core is a remarkable smoky quality, not of burning wood, but a deep, smoldering, almost mystical incense-like smoke that clings to the air. There's an underlying resinous stickiness, a balsamic depth that evokes tar and warm, ancient amber, lending it considerable weight and a tactile 'chewiness'. Hints of spice, particularly a dry, peppery warmth, often emerge, alongside a subtle, complex leathery nuance that is both rugged and surprisingly refined. It projects with a moderate to strong intensity, enveloping the wearer in a distinctive aura, and boasts exceptional longevity, clinging to the skin for hours, evolving into a softer, more intimate smoky-earthy whisper as a tenacious base note. It firmly anchors the heart and base of a composition, rarely appearing as a fleeting top note.
