The note presents a profound, dense, and utterly captivating mineralic intensity. Its initial impact can be sharp and almost acrid, like freshly laid asphalt on a sweltering summer day, quickly evolving into a warm, smoky, and resinous character. There's a distinct tarry, inky quality, often described as 'petrol-like' or 'industrial,' yet it possesses a surprising depth that can lean towards a dry, leathery earthiness rather than harsh chemicality. It is a true base note, with exceptional longevity and moderate, deliberate projection that radiates a dark, grounding presence. Its texture is akin to viscous, warm crude, or perhaps a fine, dark, gritty dust that settles deep within the olfactive memory, imparting a sense of profound weight and an almost unyielding power. It dries down to a rich, enduring warmth, often with subtle phenolic undertones that hint at smoked woods or a distant burning ember.
