Sassafras

The note initially presents a rather assertive, almost medicinal pungency, quickly softening into a complex bouquet of earthy sweetness, akin to a spiced root beer or a warm, herbal tea. There's an underlying woody dryness, a subtle camphoraceous whisper, and occasionally a creamy, vanilla-like facet that emerges, reminiscent of wintergreen or birch. Its texture feels somewhat powdery yet rich, with a medium projection that settles into a comforting, persistent warmth. It possesses a unique combination of spicy lift and grounding depth. It typically functions as a robust heart note, providing a distinctive character and acting as a bridge between brighter tops and deeper bases, sometimes extending its woody tenacity into the dry-down.
