The note unfurls with a rich, warm, and deeply balsamic aroma, often described as "sweet myrrh." Its initial impression can be slightly medicinal or herbaceous, quickly evolving into a complex tapestry of sweet, resinous warmth. It possesses a distinct powdery, almost dusty quality, reminiscent of ancient scrolls or sun-baked earth. There's an underlying smokiness, subtle and refined, not acrid, but rather like the lingering scent of embers from a sacred fire. Its texture in the olfactory sense is viscous and enveloping, drying down to a soft, velvety powder. It projects with a comforting, moderate sillage, creating an inviting aura. As a quintessential base note, its longevity is exceptional, clinging to the skin for many hours, providing a grounding and enduring foundation to any composition. It adds depth, richness, and a profound sense of antiquity.
