Sheep

The note, when interpreted as the essence of sheep's wool or lanolin, presents as a profoundly warm, slightly waxy, and remarkably soft aroma. It possesses a creamy, almost milky undertone, reminiscent of cashmere or a freshly shorn fleece. There's a subtle, clean animalic facet, a delicate muskiness that speaks of natural warmth rather than overt wildness. It is not sharp or piercing; instead, it is enveloping, gently radiating a comforting aura. The texture it evokes is plush, yielding, and fluffy. Its intensity is moderate, typically acting as a heart or base note, blending seamlessly with others to add a unique depth and a 'skin-like' embrace. Projection is usually intimate, a scent that draws one closer, and its longevity is impressive, lingering softly for hours as a comforting anchor in the drydown. It can sometimes carry a whisper of clean hay or sun-warmed earth, hinting at its pastoral origins.
