The note presents as an abstract warmth, a luminous and expansive sensation rather than a specific natural aroma. It is golden, radiant, and softly diffusive, evoking the feeling of sun-warmed skin or air shimmering with heat. Its texture is often smooth, almost aldehydic in its lift, yet grounded by a gentle, inherent creaminess. It projects a soft, golden glow, feeling both airy and substantial. While not typically a top note in the traditional sense, it provides an immediate impression of radiance, often acting as a radiant heart accord that extends its warmth well into the base. It carries a subtle, almost saline whisper, reminiscent of beach air or heated minerals, often coupled with a faint, exotic floralcy – think the creamy, narcotic sweetness of tiare or frangipani blossoms caught in a tropical breeze. Its longevity is remarkable for an accord that feels so light at its inception, often settling into a comforting, skin-like warmth.
Joyful, sunny, beachy, carefree, vacation, radiant.
