The note presents a distinctive blend of earthy, medicinal, and subtly sweet characteristics. It opens with a honeyed warmth, but quickly shifts into a complex aroma featuring hints of damp earth, herbaceousness, and a slight balsamic edge. There’s a distinctive clean bitterness, with hints of wood and leather. Its intensity is moderate to high, projecting a natural rather than polished effect, and the note possesses a lingering, slightly resinous drydown. It is more commonly a heart or base note. The texture is perceived as slightly viscous or oily.
