The note presents a profoundly dry, almost arid aroma, akin to dessicated earth and aged woods. It carries an inherent bitterness, not sharp or acrid, but a profound, resonant quality that can be described as mineralic, slightly rooty, and subtly medicinal without being clinical. There's a fine, powdery texture that coats the olfactory palate, suggesting fine dust motes dancing in sunbeams within an antique study. Hints of dry leather and a whisper of green, almost leafy austerity can emerge, adding complexity. Its intensity is moderate, rarely dominating but providing a crucial structural backbone. It evolves slowly, settling into a long-lasting, almost stoic presence, making it predominantly a heart or base note, offering grounding depth and an intriguing counterpoint to more volatile elements. Projection is contained, lending an intimate, sophisticated aura.
