The note presents a complex profile: initially bright and herbaceous, with a characteristic sharpness reminiscent of mint and basil, overlaid with subtle anise and citrus facets. It has a green, almost grassy, aroma. A slight peppery spiciness provides depth, while a lingering earthy undertone adds grounding complexity. It possesses a moderate projection and good longevity, clinging subtly to the skin. The leaf contributes a vibrant, somewhat cooling, quality, often found as a middle note, but its herbaceousness can extend into the top. It is not intensely sweet or cloying.
