The note presents as a profound, warm, and often balsamic aroma, ranging from the dry, almost peppery smokiness of frankincense to the creamy, vanilla-like sweetness of benzoin. Its texture is often described as sticky, viscous, or even powdery in its drydown, imparting a sense of ancient depth and richness. It typically behaves as a foundational base note, anchoring compositions with exceptional longevity and a soft, enveloping projection that slowly unfurls over hours. Its intensity is often substantial, providing a grounding presence without being overtly sharp, evolving into a comforting, lingering warmth. Specific resins can offer nuances like citrusy (elemi), leathery (labdanum), or slightly medicinal (myrrh).
