The note unfolds with an intensely earthy and deeply savory character, reminiscent of damp soil after a soft rain, decaying leaves, and the rich, humus-laden forest floor. It possesses a distinctive fungality, not unpleasant, but rather a profound, grounding 'mushroom' quality that can range from freshly picked and slightly moist to dried and subtly nutty. There's an undeniable umami richness, a mouth-watering complexity that borders on the culinary, yet remains distinctly aromatic. Its texture is almost velvety and dense, carrying a subtle dampness. Projection tends to be intimate, a soft hum rather than a shout, yet its longevity is exceptional, often settling as a tenacious base note that provides depth, shadow, and a unique, almost rooty anchor to a composition. It rarely stands alone but offers a profound textural and olfactory canvas.
