The note opens with an immediate, pungent verdancy, a sharp, almost skunky greenness reminiscent of crushed fresh herbs, quickly evolving to reveal an intensely aromatic and slightly acrid smoke. It carries an unmistakable dry, burnt vegetal quality, intertwined with nuances of damp earth, resinous wood, and a peculiar hint of warm, metallic sweetness that emerges from the combustion. The texture is perceived as hazy and somewhat rough, yet surprisingly complex. Its projection is typically strong and enveloping, initially diffusive before settling into a more intimate, smoldering warmth. As a top note, it introduces a provocative green sting; as a heart note, it delivers its full, herbaceous, smoky character; and in the dry-down, it lingers as a dry, ashy, and softly narcotic base, with remarkable longevity that can persist for many hours on the skin.
