The note, derived from the Myroxylon genus (primarily Peru Balsam and Tolu Balsam), presents a profoundly warm, sweet, and balsamic aroma. It possesses a rich, enveloping quality, often described as vanilla-like with distinct undertones of cinnamon, clove, and a subtle, smoky leatheriness. Its texture is smooth and resinous, almost syrupy, yet it can also reveal a delicate powdery facet as it dries down. The intensity is moderate to strong, providing a deep, comforting foundation. As a base note, its projection is intimate to moderate, creating a lingering, sensual aura. Its longevity is exceptional, often persisting on the skin for many hours, evolving from a slightly spicy sweetness to a soft, warm, and subtly woody-vanillic embrace.
