The note unfolds with a profound, almost primal earthiness, damp and cool, yet surprisingly clean in its raw honesty. It is the scent of soil after a cleansing rain, a rich petrichor marrying the mineral tang of wet stone with the organic sweetness of decomposing leaves and active microbial life. There's a slight rooty bitterness, reminiscent of freshly dug tubers or ancient, moist loam. Its texture is velvety, dense, and deeply grounding. Initial projection is moderate, a subtle invitation rather than an overt declaration, settling quickly into the skin. It behaves predominantly as a heart or base note, offering remarkable longevity, evolving to a drier, more mineralic finish that hints at the very bedrock of existence.
