The note presents a profound, often almost syrupy density, far removed from the bright, effervescent qualities of fresh fruits. It is typically a deep, velvety aroma, conjuring images of dark plums, sun-dried figs, luscious dates, and concentrated berries that have ripened beyond their peak sweetness into something more complex and brooding. There's an inherent warmth, often with subtle jammy or even boozy undertones, reminiscent of fruit liqueurs or spiced preserves. The texture is often perceived as thick, unctuous, and slightly viscous. Its intensity can range from a rich, enveloping presence to a subtle, luxurious undercurrent, but always with significant depth. It tends to project with a soft, warm aura, rather than a sharp burst, and often settles into a long-lasting, comforting base. While it can appear in the heart, lending a central opulence, its inherent weight and longevity often position it firmly as a rich, anchoring base note, evolving slowly to reveal layers of dried fruit, molasses, and sometimes a hint of earthiness or spice.
A cozy, festive, and sophisticated gourmand scent with a nostalgic warmth, reminiscent of a traditional holiday celebration in an oak-panelled room lit by flickering candlelight.
A complex and intimate scent evoking a sense of longing and bitterness from feeling trapped, yet offering calm, quiet, and a protective sanctuary for healing and survival. It is described as intimate and spectral, with the natural beauty of pollen, flowers, rich fruits, and moist greenery, reminiscent of opening a window in spring.
