The note opens with a delicate, dry sweetness, immediately invoking the image of freshly cured tobacco leaves rather than the smoky residue of combustion. It possesses an almost grassy, hay-like brightness, often described as golden and sun-drenched. There's a subtle, honeyed warmth that underpins its initial dryness, evolving into a more complex, almost tea-like aroma with hints of dried fruit and a whisper of cocoa or vanilla. Its texture is akin to fine, dried parchment, smooth yet slightly crisp. It is typically a heart-to-base note, exhibiting moderate projection that emanates a comforting aura, and possesses excellent longevity, lingering on the skin for hours, gradually softening into a warm, slightly powdery, and subtly sweet whisper.
