Mineral
The note presents as an abstract, often cool and stark impression rather than a distinct aroma. It can range from the sharp, metallic tang of flint striking steel to the damp, earthy scent of wet concrete after a summer rain. Sometimes it evokes the clean, ozonic air before a thunderstorm, or the dry, dusty texture of ancient stone. Its intensity is often subtle, providing a textural backdrop or a crisp edge, but can be amplified to create a prominent, almost austere presence. It typically behaves as a top or heart note, lending an initial coolness and a sense of spaciousness, though certain components can extend its longevity into the base, providing a grounding, almost mineralic musk. It is often described as clean, cold, stony, metallic, earthy, or even slightly salty, with a unique 'texture' that feels rough or smooth depending on its context.
