The initial burst of the note is sharp, almost acrid, like the metallic tang of gunpowder ignited, quickly followed by a searing, effervescent ozone that stings the nostrils before dissipating into a lingering, complex smoke. This smoke is not merely woody; it carries nuances of burnt sugar, scorched paper, and a faint, chemical sweetness that hints at the explosive compounds. It possesses a textural quality that is simultaneously bright and shimmering in its opening, then dry, dusty, and sooty in its descent. It projects boldly and intensely in its opening, a startling olfactory shock that captures immediate attention, then settles into a warmer, resinous, almost tarry and dusty haze. It functions primarily as a top-to-heart note, meant for dramatic impact, with the smoky remnants anchoring it deeper into the base, offering surprising longevity for such a volatile and dramatic opening.
