The note unfolds with a profound warmth, reminiscent of golden sunlight filtering through ancient amber. Its initial impression is a rich, creamy sweetness, deeply balsamic and slightly vanillic, yet with an earthy, almost rooty grounding that prevents it from becoming cloying. There's a delicate, resinous stickiness to its texture, a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth quality that speaks of ancient sap. As it evolves, subtle hints of spiced caramel and powdery warmth emerge, lending it an elegant, sophisticated character. The projection is moderate but long-lasting, a comforting embrace rather than an assertive declaration. It settles beautifully into the skin, becoming a second skin, a tenacious and deeply satisfying base note that can linger for hours, even days, gradually softening into a soft, murmuring whisper of vanilla and dried wood.
