The note presents a complex, multifaceted aroma that is intensely warm, dry, and enduring. Its initial impression is often reminiscent of sun-baked hay, dry straw, or dried herbs, possessing a distinct, slightly phenolic character. As it evolves, richer facets emerge, revealing notes of warm spices, dried fruit, and a deep, resinous sweetness akin to maple syrup or dark honey. There is often a subtle, savory undertone, sometimes described as curry-like, which adds a unique complexity rather than a culinary association. It possesses a remarkable tenacity and projection, acting primarily as a heart or base note that anchors a composition and provides significant longevity. Its texture feels dry, almost dusty, yet simultaneously rich and enveloping.
