The note presents a multifaceted aroma, leaning towards a dry, spicy, and slightly bitter profile. It offers a subtle herbaceousness combined with nuances of licorice and toasted sesame seeds. Its projection is moderate, creating a warm aura rather than a sharp burst, and it settles into a powdery, slightly earthy base. There is a faint metallic edge to it that cuts through any potential sweetness, and its intensity is medium, never overpowering.
