The note unfolds as a remarkably dry and textured experience, reminiscent of aged paper and brittle cardboard, with an almost tactile sense of its fibrous, slightly rough surface. It carries a faint, ghost-like whisper of stale tobacco smoke, not the direct pungency of a freshly lit cigarette, but rather the lingering essence that permeates paper and porous materials over time. There's a subtle, almost metallic dryness from the ink, and a hint of a dry, papery sweetness, perhaps from the glue or the natural wood pulp. Its intensity is inherently subtle, rarely a dominant force but rather an atmospheric presence. It projects intimately, close to the skin, offering a sense of introspective depth. It typically behaves as a heart or a light base note, contributing a unique textural dryness and a hint of melancholic warmth, evolving from a crisper, more defined paper scent to a softer, more integrated accord over time. Its longevity is moderate, anchoring the composition with its understated presence.
