The note presents as sharply chemical yet strangely compelling, with an initial bracing, almost acrid bite that quickly mellows into a surprisingly smooth, resinous woodiness. It has a distinctive synthetic sheen, like polished, sealed wood or a freshly lacquered surface, often accompanied by a subtle sweetness that is more solvent-like than gourmand. Its texture is akin to something hard, clean, and impermeable. Projection is typically moderate to strong initially, capable of cutting through other notes, then receding to a softer, more integrated presence. As a top-to-heart note, it provides an immediate impact, drying down to reveal more of its woody or slightly plasticky nuances, with a longevity that can linger, suggesting a preserved quality rather than a fleeting one.
