The note unfolds with an immediate, bracing dryness, like the first breath of air in an expansive, sun-baked desert. Its initial impression is intensely aromatic, a sharp, almost camphorous greenness that quickly mellows into a more complex, woody-herbal heart. There's an unmistakable mineralic dustiness, a faint peppery spice, and a subtle, almost leathery undertone that speaks of ancient earth and resilient flora. It possesses a rugged, austere elegance, never sweet, always leaning towards the savory and a little bitter, with a quality that feels simultaneously clean and deeply rooted. Projection can be quite pronounced initially, radiating an almost ozonic freshness before settling closer to the skin, where it lingers with a tenacious, dry warmth, making it an excellent heart or base note component that provides structure and a unique naturalistic texture.
