The note presents as a vibrant, deeply rich, and surprisingly nuanced berry facet, distinct from the common sweetness of raspberry or strawberry. It possesses a tart, almost wine-like juiciness at its initial introduction, immediately evoking the sensation of biting into a perfectly ripe, dark-skinned fruit. This initial brightness quickly mellows into a more sophisticated profile, revealing subtle tannic undertones and a delicate, earthy whisper that grounds its otherwise effervescent character. It carries a certain 'forest floor' dampness without being overtly green, contributing to its authentic wild berry feel. The texture implied is smooth and velvety, yet with an invigorating crispness. Its intensity is moderate, projecting a natural, inviting aura rather than an overwhelming presence. It behaves primarily as a radiant heart note, often emerging after the initial citrus or green top notes have faded, and lingering with impressive tenacity before slowly receding into a soft, slightly woody or musky base. Its longevity is notable for a fruit note, evolving gracefully on the skin.
