Raisin
The note presents a rich, dense, and deeply sweet aroma, reminiscent of sun-dried grapes concentrated into a sticky, almost syrupy essence. It often carries a distinct boozy undertone, like aged rum or fortified wine, alongside nuances of dark fruit jam, stewed plums, and a subtle, leathery warmth. Its texture is velvety and viscous, projecting with moderate intensity but possessing remarkable longevity, typically settling as a profound heart or a lingering base note. It lacks the sharp acidity of fresh fruit, instead offering a mellow, caramelized sweetness that can sometimes verge on a tobacco-like dryness or a hint of balsamic depth in its later stages. It is never sharp or effervescent, but rather smooth and enveloping.
