The note presents a multifaceted profile, opening with a piercing sharpness reminiscent of medicinal tinctures, evolving into a deeply resinous and balsamic heart. It possesses a smoky, almost charred wood facet, underpinned by subtle earthy undertones that evoke damp soil and decaying leaves. Its projection is powerful and tenacious, lasting many hours on the skin. The note possesses a somewhat "dirty" or animalic quality, similar to castoreum but less overtly fecal. It offers a dry woody texture, not sweet. It behaves primarily as a base note, with some middle note projection.
