The note presents a profoundly animalic and complex odor profile, often described as leathery, musky, fecal, and intensely urinous, yet with surprising facets of castoreum and a salty, almost mineralic quality. It can range from pungent and overwhelming in high concentrations to subtly warm and grounding when diluted. There can be nuances of cured tobacco and aged woods, a deep, resinous earthiness, and a lingering, tenacious character. It has a heavy, thick texture that projects powerfully but settles close to the skin, leaving a distinctive trail.
