The note presents a multi-faceted sensory profile: warm, smooth, slightly sweet, and subtly animalic, with a hint of powdery dustiness. Its texture is often perceived as emollient and creamy, lending a soft roundness to compositions. It projects with a moderate sillage, settling into the skin with a comforting warmth. Its longevity is impressive, acting as a base note that subtly lingers. There are undertones of honey, amber, and sometimes even a faint smokiness, depending on the source material. A slight greasiness can be perceived on application, translating to a rich mouthfeel in gourmand perfumes.
