The note is intensely dry, dusty, and leathery, with a musty, slightly bitter, and often spicy aroma. It presents a complex profile that can range from sharply acrid to subtly sweet, with undertones of earth, wood, and dried leaves. The texture it evokes is powdery and almost tactile, like inhaling fine particles. It possesses a moderate sillage and long lasting presence as a base note, lingering with a warm and comforting dryness.
