Papyrus
The note presents as a profoundly dry, almost arid woody accord, reminiscent of sun-baked earth and ancient, brittle parchment. It possesses a unique, slightly dusty texture, often described as 'papery' or 'vellum-like,' with subtle nuances of green sap and a faint, mineralic inkiness. Its intensity is typically moderate, offering a quiet, contemplative presence rather than a bold statement. It tends to evolve slowly, revealing its nuanced dryness over time. Projection is often intimate to moderate, creating an aura rather than a sillage trail. Longevity is excellent, anchoring compositions as a steadfast base note, sometimes appearing in the heart for textural depth.
