The note presents a multi-faceted olfactory journey, beginning with a vibrant, sharp burst of candied citrus zest, predominantly bitter orange, which quickly mellows into a warm, sticky sweetness. It possesses a slightly thick, almost viscous texture on the olfactive palate, evoking the concentrated essence of cooked fruit preserves. There's an underlying sophisticated bitterness, reminiscent of orange pith and rind, which prevents it from becoming cloyingly sweet and adds a delightful counterpoint to the caramelized sugar nuances. Its projection is typically moderate, unfurling gently over time. As a fragrance element, it often behaves as a heart note, providing a gourmand bridge between brighter top notes and deeper, more resinous or woody bases. Its evolution reveals more of the 'cooked' aspect, a subtle hint of toast or warmth, as the initial effervescence dissipates, leaving a comforting, lasting impression of sweet, tangy fruit. The longevity is respectable, particularly given its fruity character, often clinging to the skin with a cozy tenacity.
