The note of sunflower seed presents a distinctly savory, dry, and warm nutty aroma. It carries a toasted, slightly smoky quality, reminiscent of seeds freshly roasted, yet avoids any overt sweetness, leaning into an almost earthy-woody dryness. There's a subtle oiliness that hints at the kernel's inherent richness, but it’s not heavy or cloying; rather, it contributes to a comforting fullness. Its intensity is moderate, projecting a gentle, inviting warmth rather than a sharp burst. As it evolves, it tends to maintain its toasted nuttiness, slowly softening into a more diffused, dry-woody warmth. It functions primarily as a heart note, providing a textured, grounding bridge between brighter top notes and deeper, more resinous or woody base notes, offering excellent longevity and a persistent, comforting presence.
