The note presents a robust, warm, and intensely spicy aroma, immediately reminiscent of clove and cinnamon, yet with a distinct peppery, slightly medicinal, and herbaceous undertone. It possesses a sharp, almost bracing initial impact that mellows into a rich, balsamic warmth. Its texture is smooth but with a dry, aromatic edge, sometimes carrying a subtle leathery or tobacco-like nuance. Projection is typically strong, creating a noticeable sillage, and its longevity is considerable, often lingering as a tenacious heart or even a foundational base note, providing a persistent, comforting warmth. While it can have a fleeting, bright top-note zing, its true character unfolds in the heart, anchoring the composition with its distinctive spice.
