A profound olfactory embrace, the note unfolds with a captivating duality. Initially, a luscious, creamy wave of caramelized sweetness, reminiscent of aged vanilla beans steeped in amber nectar, envelops the senses. This opulent warmth is then intricately woven with the dry, leathery, and slightly smoky tendrils of cured tobacco leaf. It's not the acrid smoke of a burning cigarette, but rather the rich, almost fermented aroma of finely shredded pipe tobacco, often infused with subtle spice, dried fruit, or a hint of cocoa undertones. The texture is velvety and dense, yet possesses an airy, almost powdery refinement. Its intensity is significant but never overwhelming, offering a luxurious projection that draws one in rather than shouts. As a primary heart or base note, its longevity is exceptional, evolving on the skin for many hours, settling into a comforting, resinous, and deeply aromatic warmth.
