Santolina

The note unfolds with an immediate, bracing herbaceousness, a dry, almost arid green that is both sharp and clean. It possesses a distinct camphoraceous quality, invigorating and almost medicinal in its initial impact, reminiscent of crushed aromatic leaves baking under a Mediterranean sun. As it evolves, this sharpness softens, revealing subtle woody undertones and a peculiar, intriguing hint of dried curry leaf or a very dry chamomile. Its texture is decidedly crisp and dry, rather than succulent or dewy. It projects moderately at first, asserting its unique character, then settles into a more intimate, persistent aromatic hum, functioning beautifully as a strong top note that seamlessly transitions into the heart, lending an elegant, almost austere green backbone to a composition. Its longevity is commendable for an herbaceous facet, weaving its unique thread through the opening and mid-phases.
