The note unfolds with an intensely earthy, damp, and mineralic quality, reminiscent of rich, decaying forest floor after a heavy rain. It possesses a distinct umami facet, almost savory and subtly spicy, a sophisticated depth that transcends simple 'mushroom' accords. Initially, it offers a fleeting, almost peppery or pine-needle crispness, quickly mellowing into a profound, grounding core. Its texture is velvety, deep, and slightly rooty, with an underlying resinous warmth that prevents it from becoming overly stark or merely dank. The projection is typically intimate to moderate, drawing one closer to experience its quiet complexity. As a base or deep heart note, its longevity is considerable, evolving over hours to reveal a sublime earthiness with hints of dark wood and a subtle, almost leathery whisper.
