The note unfolds with a profound earthiness, immediately conjuring images of dry, sun-baked soil and ancient forests. It possesses a distinct dusty, hay-like quality, reminiscent of dried leaves or potent herbal infusions. As it evolves, subtle nuances emerge: a warm, almost leathery depth, a hint of dry spice, and a very peculiar, delicate tea-like astringency. There's a certain dryness to its texture, a powdery vegetal sensation that is both grounding and ethereal. It is not overtly green in a fresh, dewy sense, but rather a mature, desiccated greenness.

It projects moderately, creating an intimate aura, and boasts excellent longevity, lingering on the skin for hours, typically performing as a complex heart note, deepening into a tenacious base.
