The note of Larch presents a captivating olfactory paradox: simultaneously fresh and ancient, bracing yet grounding. It opens with an immediate, vivid burst of crisp, green conifer, reminiscent of a forest after a cleansing rain, but distinct from the heavier, darker notes of fir or spruce. There's an airy, almost herbaceous quality to its initial projection, a bright, slightly lemony or terpenic sparkle that cuts through the air. As it evolves, this initial verdancy settles into a more resinous, balsamic heart, revealing a warm, woody core that is dry and sophisticated, without being overtly sweet or smoky. It possesses a delicate, almost ethereal earthiness, suggesting damp soil and decaying leaves beneath ancient trees. The texture is fine and particulate, like crushed needles rather than a viscous sap. Its intensity is moderate, offering a clear presence without overwhelming, and its longevity positions it comfortably as a robust heart note with excellent transition into a subtle, lingering woody base.
