The note, when interpreted as the essence of Provence, unfurls as a multifaceted tapestry of aromatic sensations. Primarily, it presents a bright, herbaceous clarity, dominated by the clean, slightly camphoraceous yet sweet floralcy of lavender, often leaning towards lavandin's robust character. This is interwoven with the crisp, almost pungent green notes of sun-baked garrigue – thyme, rosemary, savory – imparting a dry, almost dusty earthiness that speaks of ancient stone and warm soil. There's an underlying resinous whisper, reminiscent of cypress or pine, adding a woody structure. Its texture is dry and airy, yet with a comforting warmth, like skin kissed by the Mediterranean sun. It has an initial vibrant projection, a burst of sun-drenched aromaticity that settles into a more grounded, serene heart. The longevity is moderate to long, typically behaving as a harmonious heart note, capable of extending into the base with its earthy, subtly resinous undertones, providing both freshness and a lasting sense of place.
