The note unfolds with an exquisite duality, primarily a warm, polished woody aroma intertwined with a distinct, subtle rosy-floral facet. It presents a smooth, almost creamy texture, often described as clean, soft, and slightly sweet, lacking the sharp edges of cedar or the earthy depth of patchouli. There's an underlying clean freshness, sometimes with a faint whisper of citrus or a cool, minty nuance that prevents it from becoming overtly heavy. Its intensity is moderate yet persistent, providing excellent longevity as a foundational heart or base note. The projection is elegant and refined, never overwhelming, gradually settling into a comforting, sophisticated woody-floral skin scent. It does not evolve dramatically but provides a steadfast, harmonizing presence throughout the fragrance's life, smoothing out harsher elements and adding a lustrous sheen.
