The note presents a multi-faceted olfactory experience, marrying the ethereal, powdery, and rooty elegance of iris with the scintillating, clean, and sometimes waxy or metallic brightness of aldehydes. It opens with an immediate, diffusive lift, often described as a 'cold' or 'mineral' sparkle, which quickly segues into a soft, yet tenacious, cosmetic powder accord. There's a distinct 'lipstick' quality, reminiscent of vintage makeup, coupled with a nuanced violet-like sweetness and an underlying earthy, almost mineralic coolness. Its texture is simultaneously airy and rich, projecting an aura of pristine cleanliness with remarkable tenacity. It typically functions as a luminous heart note, occasionally extending into the top for an initial burst, providing significant sillage and a sophisticated, almost aloof presence.
