Hinoki
The note presents a uniquely clean, almost spiritual woody aroma. It's distinctly coniferous, yet softer and less sharp than cedar or pine, possessing a creamy, slightly lemony, and subtly smoky nuance. There's an inherent freshness, almost like damp, freshly cut wood, mingled with a dry, resinous warmth. Its texture is smooth, not splintery, with a gentle, expansive projection that creates an enveloping, serene aura. It typically behaves as a heart or base note, offering remarkable longevity and a grounding presence that evolves into a soft, lingering warmth. It can be described as crisp, balsamic, and subtly green, with an almost minty or camphoraceous lift in its initial impression, settling into a profound, meditative woodiness.
