The note unfolds with a vibrant, sharply verdant opening, immediately invoking the crisp, aromatic air of a deep conifer forest. It possesses a distinct resinous quality, reminiscent of sticky tree sap, with an invigorating, almost camphorous coolness that clears the senses. Beneath this initial brightness, there's a warm, balsamic heart, faintly spicy and sweetly woody, gaining depth and a somewhat leathery, earthy undertone as it evolves. Its texture is initially sharp and pointed, then smooths into a more viscous, almost chewy resinousness. Projection is moderate to strong in its initial phases, settling closer to the skin over time. It exhibits excellent longevity, typically performing as a heart note that bridges into the base, offering a persistent, grounding backbone to a composition. It's not dusty or metallic, but rather clean, natural, and profoundly woody-green.
Mystical, precious, and ancient, evoking a sense of luxury and sacred traditions.
