The note unfolds with a robust and multifaceted warmth, a veritable symphony of spices. It presents immediately with a pungent, almost peppery opening, swiftly followed by the distinct, slightly medicinal prickle of clove, the comforting sweetness of cinnamon, and the dusty, musky richness of nutmeg. There's an underlying woody earthiness, occasionally a whisper of bay leaf or even a fleeting, almost balsamic whisper. Its texture is dry and grainy yet somehow full-bodied, evoking the powdered spice itself. Initially sharp and assertive, it mellows beautifully into a long-lasting, resonant warmth, typically performing as a heart note with excellent transition into the base, offering significant projection and impressive longevity as its various facets slowly reveal themselves.
